2025 HYUNDAI PALISADE

Auction records list the vehicle as Salvage, with Roof recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible roof deformation supports the Roof damage classification, while the Salvage status cannot be confirmed from exterior photos alone. The 2025 Hyundai Palisade has severe visible damage concentrated around the roof and glazing. The front windshield is extensively shattered, with spiderweb cracking across the upper and central glass. The front roof section above the windshield has heavy creasing, dents, and an uneven deformed edge. The rear roof section is also visibly creased and deformed around the upper rear opening. The rear liftgate glass is missing, with broken glass remaining around the perimeter. Rear side quarter glass is also absent, leaving an open window frame with jagged glass residue. The upper rear roof spoiler is lifted and deformed, with cracked or broken sections along its edges. Several apparent vehicle components, including curved trim pieces and electronic-looking modules, are lying separately beside the rear of the vehicle. Light-colored scuffing and transfer marks are present on the front door and adjacent side body panel. Because the roof, windshield, rear glass openings, and spoiler are all significantly damaged, the vehicle requires a comprehensive physical inspection before purchase. The inspection should include the roof structure, windshield mounting area, liftgate and quarter-window frames, interior for glass intrusion, wiring and electronic modules, airbags and seat belts, water exposure, alignment, and overall roadworthiness. The supplied findings do not confirm the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, underbody, or safety systems. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2025 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy/Calligraphy Night SUV, built in South Korea. It is listed with four-wheel drive, a gasoline 3.8-liter GDI Lambda II engine, and standard safety equipment including curtain airbags for the first, second, and third rows, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for the 2025 Palisade. Recall 25V291000 concerns a possible electrical short in the automatic-transmission electric oil-pump controller that could cause a fire; Hyundai’s remedy is replacement of the controller. Recall 25V607000 concerns rear seat-belt buckles that may fail to latch; the remedy is replacement of the affected buckle assemblies. Recall 26V034000 concerns possible improper deployment of the third-row side-curtain airbags; the planned remedy involves installing protective film over the rear window and removing padding as necessary. Recall completion and VIN-specific applicability should be confirmed with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is operated.
