2025 HYUNDAI PALISADE SEL Premium

The auction record identifies this 2025 Hyundai Palisade as having a Salvage Certificate of Title, with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the front-end claim is partially supported by the visibly missing driver-side front lamp assembly, but no clear major front-end structural deformation was visible. The salvage-certificate status could not be confirmed from exterior photographs. The documented damage includes both rear tail-lamp assemblies missing at the left and right rear corners. The lamp mounting cavities are empty, with mounting surfaces exposed. The vertical lamp assembly at the driver-side front bumper corner is also missing, leaving an open housing cavity. The instrument cluster displays the warnings “Check Lane Change Assist function” and “Check Forward/Side Safety system.” These messages indicate that the related driver-assistance and safety systems require diagnostic inspection. The findings do not establish the cause or extent of any underlying fault. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2025 Hyundai Palisade SEL Premium SUV manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is equipped with a gasoline 3.8-liter GDI Lambda II engine and four-wheel drive. The decoded equipment includes standard blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, forward-collision warning, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for this model year. Recall 25V291000 concerns the electric oil-pump controller, where moisture accumulation may cause an electrical short and fire; Hyundai’s remedy is replacement of the controller, and affected vehicles were advised to be parked outdoors away from structures until repaired. Recall 25V607000 concerns rear seat-belt buckles that may fail to latch; the remedy is replacement of the buckle assemblies. Recall 26V034000 concerns possible improper deployment of the third-row side-curtain airbags; the remedy involves installing protective film over the rear window and removing padding as necessary. The completion status of these recalls for this vehicle should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
