2025 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SE

This 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a SALVAGE VEHICLE TITLE and FRONT END as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front end has severe collision damage. The central grille and sections of the upper fascia are missing, exposing the radiator and front support area. The front bumper cover is extensively cracked, torn, displaced, and missing material, particularly on the vehicle-left side and lower edge. The vehicle-left headlamp area is open, with broken lamp components and missing surrounding trim. Lower bumper and grille trim at the vehicle-left corner is detached and hanging away from the surrounding structure. The driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel, and the driver-side curtain airbag is hanging from the roof and A-pillar area. These restraint-system components, along with the related sensors, control modules, seat belts, and structural areas, require professional inspection and repair. Several light scuff marks are also visible on the rear-facing plastic surface of the front seat. The instrument display shows “Check Active Air Flap System” with warning indicators. This is a concern requiring diagnosis; the available findings do not establish the underlying cause. NHTSA records provided for this model year list recalls concerning engine connecting-rod bolts, the starter-motor positive-terminal cover, the rearview-camera wiring harness, side-curtain-airbag installation, and front seat-belt anchors. The reported remedies include engine replacement, inspection or reinstallation of the starter-terminal cover, wiring-harness replacement, side-curtain-airbag reinstallation, and inspection or reinforcement or replacement of the seat-belt anchors, as applicable. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
