2022 HYUNDAI SANTA FE

This 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a salvage title and “REAR END” as the auction’s primary damage classification. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing rear bumper components, missing tail-lamp sections, rear-corner deformation, and crushed tailgate support the stated rear-end damage code. The rear bumper cover is missing across the lower rear area, exposing the bumper beam, reinforcement and mounting components, hitch assembly, exhaust outlet, wiring, and other internal parts. Both the left and right rear quarter-mounted tail-lamp sections are absent, with their mounting areas and wiring exposed. Both rear corners show deformed body panels and displaced trim edges around the lamp openings and bumper attachment areas. The lower right section of the tailgate has a severe inward crush with multiple sharp creases and distorted panel surfaces. The instrument cluster displays a “Check brake light” warning, and the tire-pressure warning indicator is illuminated. The brake-light system, tires, exposed wiring, rear lighting, parking sensors or other rear electrical components, structural areas, and underlying mechanical systems should be physically inspected before purchase. The visible damage assessment does not establish the condition of components that are not shown. According to the VIN decode, this is a five-door, five-seat 4WD SUV built in the United States. It has a 2.5-litre, four-cylinder gasoline engine, an automatic transmission, and the SEL with Convenience Package/XRT trim designation. Official NHTSA recall information lists the following campaigns for the 2022 Santa Fe range. Recall 21V524000 concerns a possible fuel leak on certain vehicles equipped with a 2.5-litre turbocharged engine. Recall 22V197000 concerns a turbocharger oil-supply pipe that may crack on certain 2022 Santa Fe vehicles. Recall 22V746000 concerns an automatic-transmission oil-pump fault that may result in loss of drive power. Recall 23V181000 concerns a possible electrical short and fire risk involving certain tow-hitch harnesses. Recall 24V879000 concerns a rearview camera that may fail to display an image. The applicability and completion status of each recall should be confirmed with Hyundai using the VIN, particularly for equipment- or engine-specific campaigns.
