2021 KIA TELLURIDE S

This 2021 Kia Telluride is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and an auction primary-damage designation of TOP/ROOF. The photo-review verdict states that the rear liftgate window glass is missing and that the upper rear liftgate/spoiler area is damaged, but no clear deformation of the roof panel is shown. The TOP/ROOF designation is therefore not confirmed by the photo review, and the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be verified from the photos. The most significant visible damage is at the rear liftgate. The window glass is absent, with jagged remnants along the opening and the interior exposed. The upper liftgate and spoiler area also have a large open break with irregular edges and exposed material. A small dent is present near the front-center of the hood. Inside, the lower outer side of the driver's seat has a small tear or split in the upholstery. According to the VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive, seven-seat SUV with four-wheel drive, a 3.8-liter gasoline V6, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured in the United States by Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia. The supplied recall records list campaigns concerning the front passenger occupant-classification system, certain tow-hitch harnesses, the driveline/intermediate shaft, and the front power-seat assembly. The records also include a later replacement campaign for the power-seat recall. Recall completion should be confirmed with Kia or through an authorized dealer using the vehicle identification number before purchase. The missing rear glass and damaged liftgate/spoiler area should be professionally inspected and repaired, including checks for hidden structural, electrical, interior, and water-exposure damage.
