2024 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Calligraphy

The vehicle is a 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. The auction record identifies it as having a salvage certificate of title and lists FRONT END as the primary damage. The visible front-end damage supports the auction’s unverified primary-damage classification; however, the salvage-certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from the provided photos. The front bumper cover is severely damaged, particularly on the right side. It is cracked, torn, displaced, and missing sections, with portions of the lower grille absent or hanging. Exposed components and loose wiring are visible below the front fascia. The right front bumper corner also has broken and separated plastic, a displaced vertical trim piece, and hanging wiring. The lower center and right side of the grille are broken and missing plastic, with adjacent trim fractured and displaced. An uneven, pronounced gap is visible along the front edge of the hood, especially on the right side. Both the driver steering-wheel airbag and the driver knee airbag are visibly deployed. These components, along with the related restraint-system wiring and control systems, will require professional inspection and likely replacement. The full extent of structural, mechanical, electrical, and cooling-system damage cannot be determined from the supplied findings. Additional cosmetic damage includes light scuffing on the right front door and lower side trim, as well as light scraping across the lower black rear bumper trim, including the lower left area. Official recalls listed for 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe vehicles include: - **24V246000:** A trailer parking-assist message may obstruct the rearview-camera image. An over-the-air software update is the stated remedy. - **24V529000:** A transmission-control software error may allow the vehicle to roll away while in Park. An OTA update and, where necessary, dual-clutch-transmission inspection or replacement are specified. - **24V561000:** The main floor wiring harness may chafe against the second-row seat and cause unintended airbag deployment or prevent deployment. Inspection and repair or replacement are required as necessary. - **24V843000:** An overhead-console rear sunshade switch may cause unintended sunshade closing. Switch-knob replacement is the remedy. - **25V659000:** An improperly installed starter-motor positive-terminal cover may cause an electrical short during a crash and increase fire risk. Inspection and reinstallation are specified. - **25V808000:** Incorrect rearview-camera installation may damage the wiring harness and prevent the camera image from displaying. Wiring-harness replacement is the remedy. - **26V218000:** Front seat-belt anchors may detach. Dealers are to inspect and reinforce or replace the anchors as necessary. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase. Given the deployed airbags and extensive front-end damage, a comprehensive inspection by a qualified repair facility is strongly recommended before any repair or registration decision.
