2019 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SE

The auction record lists the vehicle as Salvage, with “Right Front” identified as the primary damage. The visible damage supports the stated right-front primary-damage claim. However, the Salvage status itself cannot be confirmed from the available exterior and interior photographs. The right front bumper cover and fascia are severely damaged, with extensive tearing, cracking, missing sections, and a large opening exposing internal components. The adjacent lower lamp/trim area is also open, with portions of the trim absent. The hood has a raised, uneven front edge with visible creasing and deformation above the grille and headlamp area. Both a front passenger airbag and the right-side curtain airbag are visibly deployed. The passenger airbag extends from the dashboard over the front passenger seat, while the curtain airbag hangs from the roof-side area beside the rear passenger compartment. The restraint-system damage will require detailed inspection and appropriate replacement and system checks before the vehicle can be considered safe for use. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe SE SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.4-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine, and a U.S. manufacturing plant. The decoded safety equipment includes front and side airbags, first- and second-row curtain airbags, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, electronic stability control, and related driver-assistance systems. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this vehicle: recall 18V715000, concerning side-curtain-airbag mounting bolts that may damage the airbags during deployment, and recall 23V181000, concerning a possible electrical short and fire risk involving an original-equipment or dealer-installed trailer-hitch harness. Recall completion should be confirmed with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN, particularly given the deployed right-side curtain airbag.
