2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE GI

This 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a salvage certificate of title and an auction primary-damage classification of “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified auction claim: the provided images show missing rear lamp components, substantial rear quarter-panel deformation, and rear bumper damage. The main damage is concentrated at the left rear corner. The rear tail-lamp assembly is missing, leaving the lamp cavity and internal components exposed. The left rear quarter panel has severe deformation, with deep creasing and pronounced dents extending from the lamp opening toward the wheel arch and bumper. The rear bumper corner and adjacent cover show moderate deformation, broad scuffing, paint abrasion, and surface damage. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV with four-wheel drive, a gasoline 3.3-liter V6 GDI Lambda II engine, and a South Korean build origin. The transmission information was not provided. NHTSA recall records list several campaigns associated with 2017 Santa Fe vehicles, including 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 may depend on the specific vehicle configuration and production date, so the VIN should be checked with Hyundai or NHTSA and all recall repairs should be verified before purchase. A thorough physical inspection is recommended, including the rear body structure, inner quarter panel, wheel-arch area, lamp wiring and mounting points, bumper reinforcement, suspension, alignment, lighting operation, and any systems affected by the collision.
