2022 HYUNDAI SANTA FE

The 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed by the auction with a Certificate of Salvage and a primary damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the FRONT END classification. Stage 1 also states that the certificate-of-salvage status cannot be confirmed or disproved from exterior photographs alone. The driver airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel, indicating a collision-related restraint-system event. The front bumper and adjacent fender area have severe damage, including torn and displaced exterior sections, large irregular gaps, broken or missing bumper-cover sections, exposed internal areas, and an incomplete lower corner around the headlamp and wheel-arch region. A black section of the lower bumper trim is hanging below the bumper. Light linear scuffing is also visible on the lower outer portion of the front door. The supplied findings document substantial visible front-corner collision damage. The condition of concealed structural components, steering and suspension parts, cooling systems, wiring, sensors, and other mechanical systems is not established by these findings and should be verified through a physical inspection. The deployed airbag and any related restraint-system components should also be professionally assessed before the vehicle is considered roadworthy. The following NHTSA recalls are listed for the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe. Recall 21V524000 applies to vehicles equipped with a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine and concerns a possible fuel leak at the high-pressure fuel pump-to-fuel-rail connection, which may increase fire risk. Recall 22V197000 concerns a turbocharger oil-supply pipe that may crack and leak oil, also creating a potential fire risk. Recall 22V746000 concerns automatic-transmission fail-safe operation and possible loss of drive power. Recall 23V181000 may apply if the vehicle has an original-equipment or Hyundai-dealer-installed trailer-hitch harness; water accumulation in the harness module may cause an electrical short and fire. Recall 24V879000 concerns a rearview camera circuit-board fault that may prevent the rearview image from displaying. Recall completion status for this vehicle should be confirmed by its VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
