2022 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Calligraphy

The vehicle is listed with a Salvage Certificate of Title, with the auction identifying the primary damage as REAR END. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe deformation of the rear liftgate and rear bumper supports the auction’s unverified rear-end damage claim; however, the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The lower central section of the rear liftgate is deeply crushed and irregularly deformed around the license-plate mounting area, with multiple creases and inward depressions. The rear bumper cover has extensive deformation across its center and lower sections, including deep creases, irregular contours, and separated or displaced areas along the lower edge. Multiple light-colored scratches and scuff marks are also present on the left rear bumper corner and adjacent lower trim. The VIN decodes as a 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy SUV with 4WD, a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. Factory-listed equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability and traction control, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, parking assistance, and a rear visibility system. The operation and condition of these systems cannot be determined from the supplied findings. NHTSA records list recalls for this vehicle type involving the high-pressure fuel-pump fuel pipe, the turbocharger oil-supply pipe, automatic-transmission fail-safe operation, certain tow-hitch harnesses, and the rearview camera. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the vehicle’s VIN, particularly before purchase and road use. A physical inspection is recommended to assess concealed structural, mechanical, electrical, safety-system, and liftgate-area damage.
