2025 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Calligraphy

This 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy is identified by VIN 5NMP5DGL5SH079255. It is a gasoline-powered SUV with a 2.5-liter turbocharged T-GDI Theta III engine, 4WD, and a U.S. manufacturing origin (Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in Montgomery, Alabama). The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “REAR END” recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive rear-end damage supports the auction’s rear-end damage claim. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The vehicle has severe damage across both rear corners and the complete rear body structure. The right rear quarter panel is heavily crushed and sharply creased around the fuel-filler area, wheel arch, and rear body corner, with portions of exterior trim missing. The left rear quarter and rear corner are also extensively crushed and creased, with torn edges and displaced panels around the rear window and tail-lamp areas. Both rear quarter windows are missing, exposing the interior. The rear liftgate window is also completely absent. The liftgate itself is heavily dented, creased, and deformed across the center and side sections, with displaced trim and damage around the window frame. The upper rear body and roof-edge area show tearing, chipped coatings, and displaced components. The roof spoiler is fractured, displaced, and partially separated from the surrounding bodywork. The rear bumper assemblies and lower rear fascia are broken, displaced, and partially missing on both sides. Large openings expose internal components and wiring. The left and right rear lamp areas have broken or missing lenses with internal components exposed. Multiple detached exterior parts, wiring, and impact-absorbing material are visible on the ground. The recorded findings indicate extensive rear collision damage. The condition of the underlying body structure, suspension, exhaust, fuel system, electrical systems, airbags, camera systems, and mechanical components cannot be determined from these findings. Replacement of the liftgate, glazing, quarter panels or related structural sections, bumper assemblies, lamps, spoiler, trim, wiring, and other rear components may be required. The missing glass also leaves the interior exposed to weather and contamination until properly sealed. NHTSA records list the following recalls for applicable 2025 Santa Fe vehicles: campaign 25V549000 concerning potentially improperly tightened connecting-rod bolts, with an engine replacement remedy; campaign 25V659000 concerning the starter-motor positive-terminal cover, with inspection and reinstallation as necessary; campaign 25V808000 concerning rearview-camera wiring and display function, with wiring-harness replacement; campaign 25V809000 concerning side-curtain-airbag installation, with inspection and reinstallation; and campaign 26V218000 concerning front seat-belt anchors, with inspection and reinforcement or replacement as necessary.
