2022 HYUNDAI PALISADE SEL w/Premium Pkg

The 2022 Hyundai Palisade is listed with a salvage title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the photographed side has a missing front door and front fender, missing side-window glass, and deformation around the rear quarter panel. Substantial front-end damage is also visible. The driver-side front door is completely absent, leaving the door opening, hinges, wiring, and interior structure exposed. The driver-side front fender is also missing, with inner components and wiring visible near the front wheel. At the front, the bumper cover, grille, and central fascia are absent, exposing the radiator and front support components. The lower bumper is incomplete, with broken and separated plastic components. At the rear, the right tail-lamp assembly is missing, leaving its mounting points and wiring exposed. The photographed rear quarter panel has a large crease and deformation extending around the lamp and wheel-arch area. A rear side-window opening is empty, the rear bumper cover is separated from the quarter panel, and the exterior handle is missing from the rear door on the photographed side. Interior and restraint-system damage is also present. A side-curtain airbag is hanging from the rear cabin roof-side area, and multiple rear cabin side and roof trim panels are detached or displaced. The vehicle should undergo a comprehensive structural, wiring, mechanical, glass, and airbag-system inspection before repair or use. The visible damage may involve additional components that cannot be assessed from these findings alone. According to the VIN decode, this is a South Korea-built 2022 Hyundai Palisade SEL with Premium Package, configured as a four-wheel-drive SUV. It has a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Factory-listed equipment includes curtain airbags for all three rows, front and side airbags, adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. The operational condition of these systems cannot be confirmed. NHTSA records list recalls for this vehicle’s make, model, and year involving the instrument cluster, trailer-hitch harness, windshield wiper operation, rear seat-belt buckles, and third-row side-curtain-airbag deployment. Recall repair status should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA, particularly because the vehicle has visible side-curtain-airbag deployment and extensive body damage.
