2026 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Calligraphy

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title, with FRONT END listed as the primary damage. The visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim: the front bumper cover, grille and fascia, and both headlamp assemblies are missing. The front lower area and engine compartment are exposed, with mounting brackets, wiring, and other internal components visible. Plastic trim and liners at both front corners are detached or hanging. A long bumper-related plastic assembly is detached and lying in front of the vehicle. Electrical wiring and connectors are exposed and loose at the front left corner and lower front end. Salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. NHTSA records list four recalls for certain 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe vehicles.
