2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT Sport Base

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title, with the auction identifying the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing front-end components support this auction damage classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be verified from exterior photographs. The front end has extensive collision-related damage. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, leaving the bumper reinforcement, mounting hardware, wiring, radiator, and other front-end support components exposed. The front right fender and headlamp assembly are also absent, exposing the wheel-well area and internal mounting points. Light abrasion and transfer marks are visible on the exposed front bumper reinforcement. The condition of concealed structural, mechanical, cooling, electrical, and restraint-system components cannot be determined from these findings. Factory VIN data identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport SUV with front-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA records show recalls relating to the front coil springs, side-curtain airbags, and the ABS module or ABS multi-fuse. The ABS-related recalls concern a potential electrical short and engine-compartment fire risk. Recall completion should be confirmed with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN before purchase or operation. A comprehensive inspection and repair-cost assessment are recommended, including checks of the front structure, cooling system, wiring, suspension, airbags, brakes, and wheel alignment.
