2018 KIA SORENTO L, LX

The auction record lists the vehicle with a Certificate of Title and identifies HAIL as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the exterior, including the hood, roof, and rear liftgate, is clearly visible and appears largely smooth, without the concentrated shallow dent pattern expected from hail; the visible evidence does not support the HAIL primary-damage claim. Stage 1 also notes that Certificate-of-Title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. No additional structured damage findings were provided for this 2018 Kia Sorento. The VIN decodes as a U.S.-built Kia Sorento SUV with 4x2 drive, a 2.4-liter gasoline four-cylinder GDI Theta-II engine, and L/LX trim designation. The vehicle was manufactured by Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia in West Point, Georgia. NHTSA records list three applicable safety recalls: a possible steering-column separation caused by an improperly welded cowl crossbar; potential detachment of a side-curtain air-bag component during deployment; and a trailer-hitch harness electrical-short and fire risk on vehicles equipped with the affected hitch harness. Recall completion status is not provided and should be verified with Kia or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
