2024 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Calligraphy

This 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a salvage title, with the auction identifying the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim through extensive front-end damage, while also noting substantial additional damage at the left rear quarter and rear side window. The front bumper cover, grille, and multiple front fascia components are missing or broken, leaving lower components, mounting areas, and wiring exposed. The left headlamp assembly is absent. The hood is creased and deformed along the left front edge, and the left front fender is substantially missing or torn away around the wheel opening. The left front wheel is visibly angled outward relative to the vehicle body. The left front corner and the leading edge of the front door show extensive deformation with exposed inner components. The left exterior mirror assembly is missing. The windshield has multiple radiating cracks near the central-left area. At the rear, the left quarter panel has severe crushing and sharp creases extending from the rear side-window area to the wheel arch and tail-lamp area. The left rear quarter window glass is missing, and the surrounding trim, roof-side panel, and wheel-arch area are damaged and displaced. The driver airbag and the left-side curtain airbag are visibly deployed. Given the extent of the front and rear body damage, exposed components, angled front wheel, cracked windshield, and deployed airbags, a comprehensive inspection is required before repair or operation. This should include structural, suspension and steering, wiring, restraint-system, cooling-system, and mechanical checks, as these areas cannot be fully assessed from the listed visual findings alone. NHTSA records list the following recalls for the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe: rearview-camera software that may obstruct the image; transmission-control software that may allow the vehicle to roll away while in Park; a floor wiring harness that may affect airbag deployment; an overhead-console sunshade switch; a starter-terminal cover that may cause an electrical short after a crash; rearview-camera wiring that may prevent the image from displaying; and front seat-belt anchors that may detach. Recall completion should be verified by VIN, and any outstanding repairs should be completed by an authorized Hyundai dealer.
