2025 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Calligraphy

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. The reported damage is extensive: the hood has multiple large crushed and sharply creased areas across the front edge and left-center section. The front bumper assembly, grille, both headlamp assemblies, and both front fender outer panels are missing, leaving cooling components, support members, wiring, mounting areas, and other front-end parts exposed. Additional damage includes a missing left front exterior door handle, an absent interior trim panel on the left front door with the speaker, wiring, and inner structure exposed, and missing lower exterior trim along the left front door and rocker area. The visible extensive front-end damage supports the auction’s FRONT END damage classification. However, the salvage-title status itself cannot be verified from exterior photographs. Several NHTSA safety recalls are listed for 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe vehicles. Campaign 25V549000 concerns potentially improperly tightened connecting-rod bolts, which may cause engine damage, loss of drive power, or an oil leak; the listed remedy is engine replacement. Campaign 25V659000 concerns an improperly installed starter-motor positive-terminal cover that may cause an electrical short during a crash; the remedy is inspection and, if necessary, reinstallation of the cover. Campaign 25V808000 concerns rearview-camera wiring that may prevent the camera image from displaying; the remedy is wiring-harness replacement. Campaign 25V809000 concerns potentially improper installation of the side-curtain airbags; the remedy is inspection and reinstallation. Campaign 26V218000 concerns front seat-belt anchors that may detach; the remedy is inspection and reinforcement or replacement as required. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
