2024 HYUNDAI PALISADE

The vehicle is listed by the auction with a SALVAGE TITLE designation and a REAR END primary-damage classification. The visible rear-end deformation, missing rear bumper cover, missing rear lamps, damaged liftgate, and exposed rear components support the stated REAR END classification. However, a SALVAGE TITLE designation cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The rear bumper cover is missing across the visible rear end, exposing the bumper reinforcement area, brackets, wiring, lamp mounting areas, and other internal components. Both rear lamp assemblies are absent. The rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area show severe crushing, deep dents, multiple creases, and scuffed paint, with the wheel-arch trim absent or detached. The lower liftgate has additional dents and creases, including pronounced deformation at the lower right corner. Multiple wires and connectors are hanging below the rear body. A rear exhaust component and associated tubing are displaced and appear unsupported beneath the exposed bumper area. The condition of hidden structural components, suspension, exhaust connections, electrical systems, sensors, and safety systems cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be verified through a comprehensive physical inspection before purchase. Significant replacement and body-repair work will be required. The instrument cluster displays “Check Lane Change Assist function” along with driver-assistance warning indicators. This is a displayed warning only; system operation cannot be confirmed from the available findings. NHTSA VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2024 Hyundai Palisade SUV/MPV with four-wheel drive, a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine, and a South Korean manufacturing plant. Factory-listed safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, forward-collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, parking assistance, and a rear visibility system. These systems should be tested and scanned for faults after repairs. The supplied NHTSA recall information lists the following campaigns for 2024 Palisade vehicles: recall 23V526000 for possible overheating of the Idle Stop & Go oil-pump controller, which may increase fire risk; recall 23V599000 for a passenger occupant-detection system fault that could deactivate the front passenger air bags; recall 24V106000 for valve springs that may break, potentially causing loss of drive power or engine damage; recall 25V607000 for rear seat-belt buckles that may fail to latch; and recall 26V034000 concerning possible improper deployment of third-row side-curtain air bags. Recall completion status for this vehicle should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA, and any outstanding remedies should be completed before the vehicle is operated.
