2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT Sport Base

The vehicle is a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport listed with a salvage title and an auction-designated primary damage code of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing and damaged front-end components support the stated FRONT END code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be verified from photographs. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator area, wiring, and mounting structures. One front headlamp assembly is also absent, with its mounting area and associated wiring exposed; the opposite headlamp remains visible. The exposed bumper reinforcement has multiple abrasions and scuffed areas. Detached bumper-cover and grille-related parts are present separately, with broken sections, separated mounting areas, and scraped painted surfaces. The vehicle decodes as a front-wheel-drive/4x2 SUV with a 2.4-liter gasoline four-cylinder GDI Theta II engine. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. NHTSA records show three applicable recalls: a secondary hood-latch cable recall, a driver’s seat-belt anchor bolt recall, and an ABS-module electrical-short recall that may result in an engine-compartment fire. Recall completion is not established by the provided information and should be confirmed with Hyundai using the VIN before purchase. The vehicle requires substantial front-end repair, including replacement of the missing exterior and lighting components and inspection of the exposed radiator, wiring, mounting structures, bumper reinforcement, and other related systems for hidden damage. A complete mechanical, electrical, and safety-system inspection is recommended before repair or road use.
