2023 HYUNDAI PALISADE XRT

The 2023 Hyundai Palisade is listed by the auction with a Salvage condition designation and a Front End primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Front End damage code. However, Stage 1 also states that the Salvage designation cannot be independently confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is heavily creased and deformed across its front edge and both corners, with areas of white paint chipped or missing. The front bumper cover, grille, fascia trim, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving the cooling assembly, radiator and condenser area, wiring, brackets, and other internal components exposed. The leading edges of the front fenders are broken or displaced around the missing bumper and lamps. Loose trim, wiring, and an electronic component assembly are visible detached on the ground in front of the vehicle. Inside the cabin, the driver steering-wheel airbag, front passenger dashboard airbag, and side curtain airbags are deployed. The damage shown indicates that substantial front-end repairs, replacement parts, and inspection of the restraint, wiring, cooling, structural, and electronic systems will be required. The condition and operation of components not visible in the findings cannot be determined. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2023 Hyundai Palisade XRT SUV with four-wheel drive, a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea and is configured as a three-row, seven-seat vehicle. NHTSA records list recalls for this specific make, model, and year involving windshield-wiper operation, brake-booster vacuum leakage, the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller, rear seat-belt buckles, and third-row side-curtain-airbag deployment. The available information does not establish whether any of these recalls have been completed on this vehicle. Recall status and repair history should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
