2022 HYUNDAI PALISADE SEL w/Premium Pkg

This 2022 Hyundai Palisade is listed by the auction with a salvage certificate and a “more than 75% damage” condition designation. The auction’s primary-damage code is “FRONT END.” Stage 1’s assessment states that the photographs support the front-end damage classification, but do not by themselves establish or support the claim that more than 75% of the vehicle is damaged. The visible damage is concentrated at the front. The hood is deformed, with a raised and uneven leading edge, creasing, a depressed area near the front center-left, distorted alignment with the front fascia, and chipped or missing paint near the forward center. The grille assembly is severely fractured and displaced, with multiple broken sections and open gaps. A substantial portion of the front bumper cover is missing from the left corner, while additional lower-center sections are broken or absent. Components behind the bumper are exposed through the damaged areas. The provided findings concern visible exterior damage only. The condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, lighting, driver-assistance sensors, airbags, mechanical components, and other concealed parts cannot be determined from these findings and should be verified through a physical inspection and diagnostic testing. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a Palisade SUV with the SEL trim and Premium Package, 4WD, a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea and is configured with three seating rows. The factory data also lists standard systems including forward collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, rear automatic emergency braking, and rear cross-traffic alert; the condition and calibration of these systems should be checked after the front-end repairs. NHTSA recall records for the 2022 Palisade include an instrument-cluster display recall, a tow-hitch harness fire-risk recall for vehicles equipped with the affected harness, a windshield-wiper recall, a rear seat-belt buckle recall, and a third-row side-curtain-airbag deployment recall. Repair status and applicability to this specific vehicle should be confirmed with Hyundai or through an authorized dealer using the VIN.
