2019 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Limited, Ultimate

The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed by the auction with a salvage title and “FRONT END” as the primary-damage designation. The Stage 1 assessment reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the stated “FRONT END” code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front hood is severely deformed, particularly along the front edge and front-left area, with pronounced folds and an uneven edge above the front opening. The front bumper cover, outer fascia, and grille are missing. Both main headlamp assemblies are absent, and exposed internal components are visible across the central and corner areas of the front end. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed. According to the VIN decode, this is a U.S.-built 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, and a 235-horsepower rating. The decoded vehicle is equipped with front, side, and curtain airbags, along with standard forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and other driver-assistance systems. The transmission type was not provided in the decode. NHTSA records list two recalls for this vehicle configuration: campaign 18V715000 concerning possible interference with side-curtain airbag deployment, and campaign 23V181000 concerning a potential electrical short and fire risk in certain tow-hitch harness installations. The recall completion status for this vehicle was not provided and should be verified with Hyundai using the VIN.
