2022 HYUNDAI VENUE SEL & Limited

The auction record lists the vehicle as **PERMIT SALVAGE** with **FRONT END** as the primary damage classification. Visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the PERMIT SALVAGE status cannot be confirmed from the available visual evidence. The 2022 Hyundai Venue has severe damage across the entire front end. The hood is extensively creased, folded, and deformed, with irregular edges and gaps extending into the adjacent front body panels. The front bumper cover and grille are largely missing, exposing the headlamp mounting areas, radiator area, wiring, reinforcement, and other internal structures. A detached grille or fascia component is also present on the ground and has multiple breaks and missing sections. One front headlamp assembly has a shattered lens and broken housing, with separated pieces around the mounting area. Multiple plastic fascia, grille, bracket, and support components are cracked, broken, displaced, or absent. The exposed radiator and condenser fin assemblies appear compressed, wavy, and bent, indicating significant damage to the front cooling-component area. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, steering, safety systems, or other components not described. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2022 Hyundai Venue wagon with front-wheel drive, a 1.6-liter gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission. The VIN decode lists standard electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and front and rear automatic emergency braking. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model year: recall **22V458000**, concerning the front seat-belt pretensioners. Under certain crash conditions, a pretensioner may explode and project metal fragments into the vehicle. Hyundai’s stated remedy is to secure the pretensioners with a cap at no charge. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the vehicle’s VIN. A thorough physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including verification of structural alignment, cooling-system integrity, wiring, lighting, restraint-system operation, steering and suspension condition, diagnostic fault codes, and recall completion.
