2020 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SE

The auction record designates the vehicle as having a salvage title and lists the primary damage as rollover. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports an all-over damage pattern, including roof deformation, damage on both sides and the rear liftgate, extensive windshield breakage, and multiple deployed airbags. However, the photographs cannot independently confirm that the damage mechanism was a rollover or verify the salvage-title status. The 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe shows severe damage to the front windshield, which is extensively fractured with loose glass visible along the lower edge. The left exterior mirror assembly is missing. Damage is also present along both sides of the vehicle, including dents, creases, scraping, and paint transfer on the left front fender and left front door. The left rear door is deeply deformed with extensive scraping and damaged lower trim. The left rear quarter panel is significantly crushed around the fuel-filler opening and rear wheel arch. Both sides of the roof show pronounced deformation. The left roof edge and rear roof section have crushed and folded metal, while the right roof edge and rear roof area have bends, creases, and displaced panel contours. The right rear door has a large irregular dent with extensive scraping and damaged lower trim, and the right front door has additional scraping and localized dents. The rear liftgate has a pronounced horizontal dent and central creasing below the license-plate area. Multiple airbags are visibly deployed, including the driver and passenger front airbags and side-curtain airbags along the roof-side areas, including the rear left side. Broken glass fragments are scattered across the front passenger seat and surrounding cabin surfaces. The extent of the roof, side-panel, windshield, and restraint-system damage warrants a comprehensive structural, glass, electrical, and airbag-system inspection before any repair or purchase decision. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a U.S.-built 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe SE SUV with front-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle is equipped with front airbags and first- and second-row curtain airbags, consistent with the deployed restraint components noted above. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model year. Recall 21V00M000 concerns potentially improper windshield bonding, which could allow the windshield to detach in a crash; the remedy is windshield removal and reinstallation by a dealer. Recall 23V181000 concerns a possible electrical short and fire risk in certain vehicles equipped with an original-equipment or Hyundai-accessory tow-hitch harness; the remedy involves a fuse and wire-extension kit as necessary. The repair status of these recalls for this vehicle was not provided and should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
