2019 KIA SORENTO L, LX, S

The auction record lists the vehicle’s primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing and damaged front-end components support this unverified auction damage code. The auction condition is listed as CERTIFICATE OF TITLE, which cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The front bumper cover is severely damaged and missing across the central and corner sections, leaving the cooling assembly, inner plastic components, and wiring exposed. The center grille is broken and incomplete, with displaced or missing sections and an open front fascia. The cooling-assembly fins visible behind the grille are moderately compressed and bent, particularly in the central and lower areas. A lower front plastic panel is detached and hanging below the vehicle, with additional broken plastic along the lower front edge. The front corner fascia and adjacent bumper trim are also missing, exposing inner components and the edge of the wheel arch. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, cooling-system components, wiring, lighting, sensors, or airbags; these areas require a detailed physical inspection and repair assessment. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Kia Sorento SUV/MPV with 4x2 drive, a 3.3-liter gasoline V6 GDI Lambda-II engine, and a U.S. manufacturing origin at Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia in West Point, Georgia. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for the 2019 Sorento. Recall 22V703000 concerns vehicles equipped with an original-equipment or Kia-dealer-installed trailer-hitch harness; moisture and debris may cause an electrical short and fire. Recall 23V639000 concerns a possible water leak into the rearview camera, which may cause the image not to appear on the display. Recall completion status for this vehicle should be verified with Kia or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
