2025 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Calligraphy

The auction record identifies this 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE OF TITLE, with FRONT END listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the extensive visible damage at the left front corner supports the FRONT END damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The left front corner has severe collision damage. The left front fender is extensively crushed, with sharp creases, torn paint, and deformed edges around the wheel opening. The left front bumper cover is cracked, torn, and displaced, with missing sections exposing dark inner components. The vertical bumper trim is broken and separated. The damaged fender and bumper leave inner wheel-well components visibly exposed around the left front tire. The left exterior mirror assembly is missing, leaving its mounting area and dark support components exposed. The left front door has creasing and scraped paint near the front edge and mirror mounting area. Multiple airbags have deployed. These include the driver airbags in the steering wheel and lower dashboard, the left side curtain airbags along the roof and A-pillar area, and airbags from the outer side of the left rear seat area. A curtain airbag is also hanging along the left side of the passenger compartment. The instrument cluster displays multiple warning indicators, including the message, “Check Parking Distance Warning system.” The supplied findings do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s underlying structure, suspension, steering, wheel, braking system, powertrain, or safety-system control modules. A thorough physical inspection and diagnostic scan would be required before determining whether the vehicle is repairable and confirming the extent of concealed damage. Several NHTSA recalls are listed for certain 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe vehicles.

Campaign 25V659000 concerns improper installation of the starter-motor positive-terminal cover, which may cause an electrical short and fire during a crash; the remedy is inspection and correction as necessary. Campaign 25V808000 concerns rearview-camera wiring that may prevent the camera image from displaying; the remedy is wiring-harness replacement. Campaign 25V809000 concerns improperly installed side-curtain airbags; the remedy is reinstallation as necessary. Campaign 26V218000 concerns front seat-belt anchors that may detach; the remedy is inspection and reinforcement or replacement as necessary.
