2023 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SE

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate and the auction’s primary damage is recorded as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification because the front bumper cover, grille, both headlamp assemblies, and a section of the front fender are missing or damaged. However, the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The front bumper cover and grille are absent, exposing the bumper reinforcement, cooling components, wiring, and inner front structures. Both front headlamp assemblies are missing, with their mounting areas and surrounding wiring visible. A forward section of the front fender is also absent, exposing the wheelhouse area and attached wiring. The front wheel-arch liner and adjacent trim on the side shown are broken, detached, and incomplete. Additional front-corner components, plastic pieces, and internal mounting areas are visibly damaged. A detached bumper cover, grille pieces, exterior trim, and one headlamp assembly are shown on the ground beside the vehicle. These parts may be associated with the vehicle, but their condition and completeness should be verified separately. The available findings do not establish the condition of the cooling system, wiring, sensors, steering and suspension components, engine-bay structures, or other systems behind the visible damage. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe: campaign 23V181000, concerning certain vehicles equipped with a tow-hitch harness. Water accumulation on the harness module circuit board may cause an electrical short and potentially result in a fire. The recall remedy involves installation of a fuse and wire-extension kit as necessary, free of charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai before the vehicle is operated or repaired.
