2022 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Limited

This 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe is recorded with a salvage certificate of title. The auction lists the primary damage as “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with substantial deformation at the rear liftgate, rear lighting area, and right rear bumper. The rear liftgate has severe damage across its lower half, including multiple deep dents, sharp horizontal and diagonal creases, and distortion around the rear trim and license-plate mounting area. The left rear quarter panel has a large depression and creased section adjacent to and below the left tail lamp. The rear lighting assemblies and center trim are separated or displaced, with broken red lamp components visible; a detached red lamp piece is also shown on the ground behind the vehicle. The right rear bumper corner has a severe missing and broken section with torn edges and an open area exposing components behind the bumper. Additional bumper-cover or trim material is hanging from the lower right rear corner, and another red plastic component is visible on the ground. The supplied findings document visible exterior collision damage only; the condition of concealed structural, electrical, mechanical, sensor, and restraint-system components cannot be determined from these findings. A comprehensive inspection and repair-estimate review are recommended before purchase. The VIN decodes as a 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited SUV/MPV built in South Korea. It is listed with 4WD, a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline/electric hybrid powertrain, a four-cylinder engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, parking assistance, and a rear-visibility system; operation of these systems should be verified after repairs. NHTSA records list five recalls for this model year: potential high-pressure fuel-pipe leakage on certain turbocharged vehicles, a turbocharger oil-supply-pipe issue, an automatic-transmission fail-safe and software issue that may result in loss of drive power, a tow-hitch harness electrical-fire risk where applicable, and a rearview-camera failure issue. Recall completion status for this vehicle should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
