2024 HYUNDAI PALISADE

This 2024 Hyundai Palisade is listed at auction with a salvage vehicle title and FRONT END as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END claim, citing extensive damage to the front fascia, grille, headlamps, hood edge, and lower front components. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage title itself cannot be confirmed or disproved from exterior and interior photographs alone. The front bumper cover, grille, lower front trim, and associated fascia are missing or severely damaged, exposing internal front-end components. Both headlamp areas have broken outer sections and exposed internal parts. The left front fender and wheel-arch area is deformed, with missing molding and exposed mounting points, while the right front corner also has missing fascia and broken components. The front edge of the hood is raised and uneven, with irregular gaps at both corners. Detached bumper, grille, trim, and plastic components are present separately; several are cracked, broken, or detached. The front passenger seat side airbag is deployed, with torn upholstery around the deployment opening. Curtain airbags are also deployed and hanging along both sides of the cabin, including the rear passenger area. The condition of the remaining restraint-system components, sensors, wiring, and other mechanical or structural parts requires physical inspection and diagnostic testing. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a South Korea-built 2024 Hyundai Palisade SUV with 4WD, a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine, and a Calligraphy or Calligraphy Night Edition trim designation. Listed standard equipment includes curtain airbags for the first, second, and third rows, front and side airbags, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and other driver-assistance systems. These systems may require inspection, calibration, or replacement following the front-end impact and airbag deployment. NHTSA records list the following recalls for this model and year: campaign 23V526000 concerns an electric oil-pump controller that may overheat and increase fire risk; 23V599000 concerns the front-passenger occupant-detection system and possible airbag deactivation; 24V106000 concerns valve springs that may break, potentially causing loss of drive power, engine damage, or fire; 25V607000 concerns rear seat-belt buckles that may fail to latch; and 26V034000 concerns possible improper deployment of third-row side-curtain airbags. Recall repair status should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before the vehicle is returned to service.
