2024 HYUNDAI PALISADE XRT

This 2024 Hyundai Palisade XRT (VIN KM8R34GE8RU791435) is listed by the auction with a salvage-title designation and a “FRONT END” primary-damage code. Stage 1 reports that the extensive visible damage to the front fascia and cooling area supports the auction’s unverified “FRONT END” code; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has extensive collision damage concentrated at the front. The hood is moderately deformed along its front edge and both corners, with irregular gaps at the front body panels. The front bumper cover, grille, both headlamp assemblies, and multiple surrounding fascia and trim pieces are missing. This leaves the radiator, cooling components, reinforcement, brackets, wiring, washer reservoir, and other mounting hardware exposed. The lower front panels are broken or displaced, and the visible radiator or condenser fins show extensive crushing and deformation. The visible front fender and wheel-arch edges are broken, with missing sections and exposed inner components. The lower front door has a pronounced dent and crease, while the rocker molding is detached and displaced; a separate trim piece is visible below the vehicle. The driver steering-wheel airbag and an additional lower driver-side dashboard airbag are deployed. The condition of other restraint-system components, the vehicle structure, mechanical systems, and electrical systems is not established by the supplied findings and requires a complete physical inspection. NHTSA decoding identifies the vehicle as a gasoline-powered, front-wheel-drive/4x2 SUV manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in Ulsan, South Korea. It is equipped with a 3.8-liter GDI Lambda II engine and has an XRT trim designation. NHTSA records list recalls for applicable 2024 Palisade vehicles involving the Idle Stop & Go 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 airbag deployment. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase, and all outstanding repairs should be completed before the vehicle is operated.
