2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE GI

This 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a salvage title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Visible front-end damage supports that damage classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover, grille, and surrounding fascia components are missing, exposing the radiator and condenser assemblies, front mounting areas, wiring, and other internal components. The lower front plastic supports and trim are broken, displaced, or hanging below the vehicle. The visible cooling fins are uneven in places. The hood is creased and deformed across the front edge, with raised and uneven gaps at both corners. The right-front headlamp is severely cracked, shattered, and partially missing. The left-front headlamp is displaced from the surrounding bodywork, with visible gaps and damage around its mounting area. The right-front fender is creased, with torn or distorted edges near the headlamp and wheel opening. A small dark stain is visible on the left portion of the rear seat cushion. No other findings were provided. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, steering, brakes, airbags, electrical systems, or the extent of damage behind the visible front-end components. A complete structural, mechanical, cooling-system, wiring, and safety-system inspection is recommended before purchase or repair. According to the VIN decode, this is a Hyundai Santa Fe SUV manufactured in South Korea, with a 3.3-liter gasoline V6 engine, 4x2 drive, and a listed 290 horsepower rating. NHTSA recall records for 2017 Santa Fe vehicles include recalls involving the tire-pressure monitoring system, secondary hood latch cable, 3.3-liter engine crankshaft and bearing wear, certain accessory trailer-hitch wiring harnesses, front seat-belt warning wiring, and the ABS module electrical system. Applicability and completion status should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer, particularly for the 3.3-liter engine and hood-latch campaigns.
