2024 HYUNDAI SANTA CRUZ XRT

The auction record lists the vehicle with a “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” condition and “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification because the front bumper, grille, lighting, and multiple front-end body components are missing or damaged. The CERTIFICATE OF TITLE claim cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the photographs. The 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz has extensive front-end collision damage. The hood is moderately deformed at the left-front corner and front edge, with a pronounced crease and an uneven leading edge. Severe damage and missing exterior panels are present at both front corners. The left-front outer body panel, front corner fascia, right-front bumper and fender-area panels, and associated lamp-area exterior pieces are absent, leaving internal brackets and components exposed. The front bumper cover, grille, front fascia, lower trim, and left headlamp assembly are missing. The radiator and other front-end components are visibly exposed. Wiring, connectors, plastic components, brackets, and mounting areas are loose, displaced, or separated in the exposed lower front assembly. Multiple detached bumper, grille, trim, lamp, duct, and other front-end parts are shown on the ground beside the vehicle. This vehicle decodes as a 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz XRT pickup with 4WD, a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a listed output of 281 horsepower. The VIN data identifies Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama LLC in the United States as the manufacturer. The transmission type is not provided in the decode. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model and year: recall 24V412000 concerns the electric power steering system, where a circuit-board short circuit may cause a loss of power-steering assistance and increase crash risk. The stated remedy is replacement of the motor-driven power-steering electric power pack by a dealer at no charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer. The findings document substantial visible front-end damage and missing parts. The condition of concealed structural areas, steering and suspension components, cooling and electrical systems, airbags, drivetrain, and overall operability is not established by these findings and should be confirmed through a comprehensive physical inspection.
