2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE GLS

The vehicle is a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS SUV, identified by VIN KM8SN4HF9HU174787. The VIN decodes to a 4x2 configuration with a 3.3-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. The auction lists the vehicle as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE, which cannot be verified from exterior photographs. Its stated primary damage is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front bumper and left-front body damage support the FRONT END classification; the salvage-certificate status itself cannot be verified from the exterior images. Visible damage is concentrated on the body panels and bumpers. The left front bumper corner and lower edge have extensive scraping, chipped white finish, dark transfer marks, linear abrasions, and surface deformation. The left front fender behind the headlamp is dented and creased, with scratches extending toward the wheel arch. Both left-side doors have multiple shallow dents, scuffs, and scratches along their lower sections. On the right side, a section of the black molding is missing from the rear wheel arch. The adjacent quarter-panel finish is chipped and irregular, with darker material exposed along the damaged edge. The lower right-side doors also have shallow dents and dark linear scuff marks. Additional scratches and scuffing are visible on both the right rear bumper corner and the right front bumper corner. The supplied records do not include mechanical, structural, underside, interior, or operational inspection findings. A physical inspection should therefore confirm the condition of the bumper mounts, fender and quarter-panel structure, wheel-arch area, lighting, wheel and suspension components, alignment, safety systems, and any concealed damage before purchase. Several NHTSA recall campaigns are associated with certain 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe vehicles or related variants. These include recalls concerning the TPMS, secondary hood latch cable, 3.3-liter engine crankshaft and bearing wear, certain accessory trailer-hitch wiring, front seat-belt buckle wiring, and the ABS module electrical system. Applicability and completion status should be confirmed directly by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer, particularly the 3.3-liter engine and ABS-related campaigns.
