2024 KIA TELLURIDE

The auction lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim, citing the missing and damaged front fascia, exposed front-end components, detached bumper assembly, and deformed hood. Stage 1 also notes that salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The front bumper cover and central grille/fascia components are missing, exposing the radiator and other front-end components. A detached white bumper assembly is shown separately, with broken mounting areas, separated black trim, and loose wiring and sensor connectors. The hood has pronounced creasing and deformation across its leading edge and center, including a raised and folded section. Additional collision damage includes moderate dents or creases in the lower-middle areas of both left-side doors and in the lower portion of the right front door. The steering-wheel airbag is deployed, and white deployed restraint fabric is visible around the driver-side upper cabin and dashboard. The windshield has multiple branching cracks across the upper driver-side area. Dark scuffing and abrasion are also visible on the lower right corner of the rear bumper. The visible damage indicates that extensive body, bumper, grille, hood, windshield, restraint-system, wiring, and sensor-related repairs may be required. The condition of the radiator, cooling system, front structural components, suspension, steering, drivetrain, electrical systems, and any hidden damage cannot be determined from these findings. A qualified inspection and complete diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase or repair. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2024 Kia Telluride SUV with four-wheel drive, a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda-II V6 engine, and a U.S. manufacturing location in West Point, Georgia. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, curtain, and driver-knee airbags, along with systems such as forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear automatic emergency braking. The operational condition of these systems should be verified after repairs. Recall records provided for the 2024 Telluride include campaign 24V077000 for engine valve springs that may break and cause loss of drive power or engine-block damage; campaign 24V214000 concerning possible incomplete engagement of the intermediate shaft and right front driveshaft, which may allow the vehicle to roll while in Park; campaign 24V407000 concerning overheating of the front power-seat motor; campaign 25V494000 concerning door-belt molding that may detach; and campaign 26V430000, which replaces the earlier power-seat recall with an electronic-fuse remedy. Recall completion should be confirmed with Kia or an authorized Kia dealer using the VIN before the vehicle is driven.
