2022 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Limited

The 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with an auction primary-damage designation of FRONT END. The visible front-end collision damage is consistent with that designation, while the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from the available photographs. The hood has a pronounced crease and uneven deformation across its front section, with a raised and irregular leading edge. The front bumper cover is severely damaged, with broken and separated areas along the upper edge and lower corners. White and silver trim sections are missing or displaced, exposing black components. The grille surround is broken and incomplete at an outer front corner, and the lower front fascia and air-intake lip contain additional broken and displaced sections. A bumper corner below the headlamp is also separated from the adjacent trim, leaving an open gap and broken edges. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed. Airbag-system components, pretensioners, sensors, steering-wheel parts, and the vehicle’s restraint control system should be professionally inspected and repaired or replaced as required. The front structure, cooling system, lighting, wiring, and driver-assistance systems should also be checked for concealed collision damage before the vehicle is operated. NHTSA records list the following recalls for this make, model, and year: recall 21V524000 concerns a possible fuel leak at the high-pressure fuel-pump-to-fuel-rail connection on vehicles with the 2.5-liter turbocharged engine; recall 22V197000 concerns a turbocharger oil-supply pipe that may crack and leak; recall 22V746000 concerns possible loss of drive power related to the automatic transmission oil pump and fail-safe mode; recall 23V181000 concerns a tow-hitch harness electrical short that may cause a fire where the affected harness is fitted; and recall 24V879000 concerns a rearview camera image that may fail to display.
