2025 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SE

The auction record identifies this 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe as having a salvage certificate of title with “REAR END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear bumper damage supports the stated REAR END damage code; however, the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The visible damage is concentrated at both rear corners. On the right side below the taillamp, the rear bumper cover is severely crushed and heavily creased, with torn and displaced material extending across the lower rear corner. The black lower bumper trim is detached and hanging below the vehicle, leaving an open gap along the lower rear edge. A rectangular bumper lamp or reflector assembly in the right lower bumper area is also displaced and hanging. At the left rear corner, a long black bumper trim piece is detached and extends downward to the ground. The provided findings do not establish the condition of components behind the bumper, the rear body structure, sensors, lighting wiring, or the exhaust system. A comprehensive physical inspection and functional check will be required after repair or before purchase. NHTSA records list the following recalls for certain vehicles in this model and year range: campaign 25V549000 concerns improperly tightened connecting-rod bolts that may cause engine damage, loss of drive power, or an oil leak; campaign 25V659000 concerns an improperly installed starter-motor positive-terminal cover that may cause an electrical short during a crash; campaign 25V808000 concerns rearview-camera wiring that may result in no camera image; campaign 25V809000 concerns improperly installed side-curtain air bags; and campaign 26V218000 concerns front seat-belt anchors that may detach.
