2015 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT TOP

The auction records designate this 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport as having a salvage certificate and list the primary damage as front-end damage. The visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification through scuffing and detached or missing lower front bumper trim; however, the salvage-certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover has multiple dark linear scuff marks across the lower center and left side, affecting both painted and black lower bumper surfaces. The lower center bumper trim has an open gap, with a black trim section visibly hanging or absent along the lower edge. A long black trim piece and a separate silver-colored bumper insert are also detached and lying on the ground in front of the vehicle. These findings indicate moderate collision-related damage to the lower front bumper area, in addition to minor cosmetic scuffing. The condition of the bumper reinforcement, mounting points, sensors, cooling components, and other mechanical or structural parts was not provided and should be inspected before purchase. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a 4x2 multipurpose SUV with a gasoline 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder DOHC engine. It was manufactured by Kia Georgia in the United States. NHTSA records list recalls affecting this model. Recall 17V358000 concerns corrosion and binding of the secondary hood-latch cable, which could allow the hood to open while driving if the latches are not properly engaged. Recalls 20V520000 and 21V303000 concern possible brake-fluid leakage inside the ABS module, which may cause an electrical short and increase the risk of an engine-compartment fire; recall 21V303000 supersedes recall 20V520000. The repair status for this specific vehicle should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
