2024 HYUNDAI PALISADE SEL Premium

This 2024 Hyundai Palisade is listed with a salvage title, and the auction’s primary-damage classification is “REAR END.” Stage 1’s photo-based assessment states that this claim is not fully supported: the rear hatch and most of the rear bumper appear substantially intact, while the most severe visible damage is concentrated on the right rear quarter panel, quarter window, and right rear tail lamp. The visible damage includes multiple moderate inward dents and crease lines across the lower and middle sections of the two visible side doors. The front fender and adjacent rear edge of the front door also show inward deformation and creasing near the wheel opening and door seam. More extensive damage is present at the right rear quarter panel, with deep creasing and inward deformation extending around the rear wheel arch, fuel-filler area, rear lamp, and rear side-window opening. The right rear quarter-window glass is missing, with irregular glass fragments remaining around the aperture. The right rear tail-lamp lens is visibly broken and has an irregular damaged outer edge. According to the VIN decode, this is a Palisade SEL Premium SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine, and a South Korean production origin. The decoded safety equipment includes standard front, side, and curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear automatic emergency braking. NHTSA recall records provided for the 2024 Palisade identify recalls involving the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller, the front passenger occupant-detection system on vehicles with dark premium suede seats, engine valve springs, rear seat-belt buckles, and third-row side-curtain air-bag deployment. These recalls may require inspection, software updates, component replacement, or other corrective work. The recall completion status for this vehicle should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase. A thorough inspection is recommended, particularly of the right rear quarter structure, wheel-arch area, fuel-filler region, rear lamp wiring, window opening, door and fender alignment, and any safety-system components affected by the collision. The missing glass and broken lamp should also be addressed, and the vehicle’s salvage-title repair history and roadworthiness should be independently verified.
