2020 HYUNDAI PALISADE SEL w/ Premium Pkg

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title designation (“CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE”) and the auction’s primary damage classification is “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage classification, citing extensive rear bumper removal, missing rear lamp assemblies, and deformation of the lower tailgate and rear body area. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from photographs. The rear of the vehicle has severe collision damage. The rear bumper cover, fascia, lower trim, and both rear lamp assemblies are missing, exposing the bumper structure, wiring, mounting areas, and other internal components. The lower tailgate and adjacent rear body panel show pronounced crushing, sharp creasing, buckling, and uneven deformation. The left rear corner also has deformed sheet metal and exposed underlying components. The extent of damage indicates that structural and mounting areas should be carefully inspected during repair. Inside the rear cargo area, large trim panels have been removed or detached. Wiring, brackets, and side-structure components are exposed, and one detached interior panel is positioned across the rear seating area. The operation and condition of the tailgate, rear lighting circuits, wiring, parking or driver-assistance systems, and any affected safety systems are not established by these findings and require physical and electrical inspection. The VIN decodes as a 2020 Hyundai Palisade SUV/MPV, 4x2, equipped with a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in Ulsan, South Korea, and the decoded trim is SEL with Premium Package. The supplied NHTSA data lists recalls concerning the side-curtain air-bag mounting bolts (19V802000), windshield-wiper operation (22V627000), certain tow-hitch harnesses and potential electrical shorts (22V633000), rear seat-belt buckle latching (25V607000), and third-row side-curtain air-bag deployment (26V034000). The completion status of these recall remedies for this vehicle is not provided and should be verified with Hyundai or through an authorized dealer using the VIN.
