2021 KIA TELLURIDE LX

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage title and lists rollover as the primary damage. The photo review reports widespread collision damage but states that the damage mechanism cannot be established from the photos; therefore, the rollover claim cannot be confirmed visually. The salvage-title status also cannot be independently confirmed from the images. The vehicle has severe front-end damage. The hood is heavily creased and displaced, the front bumper and grille are missing, and the radiator and other internal front-end components are exposed. The grille assembly is detached and lying separately from the vehicle, while several pieces around the cooling assembly and radiator support appear displaced or separated. The front-left area is also heavily damaged. The front-left fender is deeply crushed around the wheel opening, with torn or displaced trim and exposed components. The front-left tire appears flattened, and the surrounding wheel-area trim and body panels are displaced. The front-left door has deep creases and crushed areas, and its exterior mirror is broken and displaced. Both visible left-side doors have extensive deformation. The right-side front and rear doors also show large crushed areas and deep creasing, and the right rear quarter panel is broadly dented above and forward of the rear wheel. The roof panel and front roof edge are creased and unevenly deformed above the windshield. The windshield is extensively cracked and shattered, with missing glass along the upper and side edges. The rear liftgate window is missing, with broken glass remaining around the opening. Glass fragments are also visible inside the front cabin and across the center console. At the rear, the liftgate has multiple dents, creases, and scratches. The rear bumper cover is torn and displaced, with a large opening and hanging or separated lower sections. The left rear quarter and adjacent rear body surfaces show broad rippling, dents, and scuffing. The driver and front-passenger airbags are deployed, and the side-curtain airbags are hanging along the cabin sides and roof. This vehicle should be considered in need of extensive collision repair. The photographs do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, suspension, steering, drivetrain, cooling system, wiring, or other mechanical and safety systems. A complete physical inspection and diagnostic assessment would be required before determining repair feasibility or roadworthiness. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Kia Telluride LX SUV with four-wheel drive, a 3.8-liter gasoline V6, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and seating for up to eight occupants. The vehicle was manufactured by Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia in the United States. The supplied recall information lists campaigns 21V164000, 22V626000, 24V214000, 24V407000, and 26V430000 for applicable 2021 Telluride vehicles. These relate to the passenger-seat occupant classification system, an optional tow-hitch harness, the driveline, and front power-seat components. Recall completion and applicability to this specific vehicle should be verified with Kia or NHTSA using the VIN, particularly because the supplied information indicates that campaign 26V430000 replaces 24V407000 and has a future notification and VIN-search date.
