2021 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Limited

The 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a salvage certificate of title and a “rear end” primary-damage classification by the auction. Visible damage to the rear bumper supports the stated rear-end damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The lower rear bumper cover is severely damaged on the left side when viewed from the rear. The cover or a substantial section of the lower bumper assembly is missing or torn away, exposing internal components, wiring, and a hanging cable. The damaged and detached bumper components will require repair or replacement, along with inspection of the underlying structure, wiring, sensors, and other components for additional damage not visible in the provided findings. The recall records for this vehicle include several safety campaigns. Certain 2021 Santa Fe vehicles with 2.5-liter turbocharged engines were recalled for potentially loose high-pressure fuel-pump fuel-pipe connections, which could cause a fuel leak and increase fire risk (campaigns 21V524000 and 21V308000). A windshield-bonding recall (21V00M000) addressed the possibility of windshield detachment in a crash. Campaign 21V185000 involved the passenger Occupant Detection System and air-bag deployment when a child restraint is detected; the record states that all affected vehicles had been remedied as of May 12, 2021. Campaign 22V746000 concerned automatic-transmission oil-pump faults that could result in loss of drive power. Campaign 23V181000 addressed a possible electrical short and fire risk involving certain tow-hitch harness modules. The latest listed campaign, 24V879000, involves rearview-camera failure caused by a damaged circuit board. Recall completion and applicability to this specific vehicle should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN before purchase.
