2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT Base

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate indicating more than 75% damage, with FRONT END recorded as the primary damage. The visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification; however, the photographs alone do not support or verify the claim that the vehicle sustained more than 75% damage. The front end has severe collision damage. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, exposing internal front-end components, wiring, and the area ahead of the cooling assembly. One headlamp assembly is absent, and a substantial section of the front fender around the headlamp and wheel arch is missing or broken away. The front edge of the hood is also visibly deformed. Additional moderate damage is present on the visible side of the vehicle. The rear door has a broad dent with multiple horizontal creases, while the rear quarter panel is distorted and creased between the tail lamp area and wheel arch. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.4-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA records list recalls applicable to this model and year involving the secondary hood-latch cable, the driver’s seat-belt anchorage, and the ABS module/multi-fuse, which may create an engine-compartment fire risk. The completion status of these recalls should be confirmed with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is operated. Due to the extent of the visible front-end damage, a comprehensive inspection should also include the structural components, cooling system, wiring, restraint systems, steering and suspension, and all safety-related equipment.
