2023 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Limited

The auction records list the vehicle as having a certificate of title and identify hail as the primary damage. However, Stage 1 reported that the visible hood, liftgate, and roof appeared largely smooth, with no concentrated pattern of numerous small shallow dents; its assessment was that the visible evidence does not support the hail-damage claim. The documented damage is a minor, shallow, localized dent in the mid-door area of the left rear door. A safety recall, campaign 23V181000, applies to certain 2019–2023 Hyundai Santa Fe vehicles potentially equipped with an original-equipment or dealer-installed tow-hitch harness. Water accumulation in the tow-hitch harness module may cause an electrical short and fire. The listed remedy involves installation of a fuse and wire-extension kit as necessary, free of charge. Applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai.
