2024 HYUNDAI PALISADE

This 2024 Hyundai Palisade is recorded with a salvage title and an auction primary-damage classification of “FRONT END.” The auction classification is supported by Stage 1’s photo review, which found substantial visible damage to the front bumper, grille, hood edge, and front lamp areas. The front bumper cover and lower fascia have multiple breaks, open gaps, displaced sections, cracks, and an irregular lower edge across much of the vehicle’s width. The center and lower grille contain numerous broken, displaced, or missing elements. The left front bumper corner has a large open area with broken or absent trim around the lamp/fascia opening. Both outer front lamp areas also have large dark openings and missing or damaged surrounding fascia; the condition of the lamp assemblies themselves could not be confirmed from the available images. The front edge of the hood is uneven, raised, and visibly deformed. Additional broken and displaced grille or trim components are visible in the upper front fascia area with the hood open. The instrument cluster displays “Check Lane Change Assist Function,” and a check-engine warning indicator is illuminated. The available images do not establish the causes of either warning, so the vehicle should receive a complete diagnostic scan and functional inspection before purchase. The front-end damage also warrants inspection of the underlying structure, cooling system, wiring, sensors, airbag system, lighting, and driver-assistance components. According to the VIN decode, this is a South Korean-built Hyundai Palisade SUV with four-wheel drive, a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine, and a Calligraphy or Calligraphy Night Edition trim designation. Factory-listed equipment includes adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, parking assistance, and LED low-beam headlights. The operational condition of these systems cannot be confirmed from the findings. NHTSA records list the following recalls for the 2024 Palisade: campaign 23V526000 for a possible overheating Idle Stop & Go oil-pump controller; campaign 23V599000 for an occupant-detection-system issue that may deactivate the front passenger air bags on vehicles with dark premium suede seats; campaign 24V106000 for valve springs that may break and cause loss of drive power or engine damage; campaign 25V607000 for rear seat-belt buckles that may fail to latch; and campaign 26V034000 concerning possible improper deployment of third-row side-curtain air bags. Recall completion for this vehicle was not provided and should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before operation.
