2019 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SE

The vehicle is listed by the auction as “GRAVEMENT ACCIDENTE” (seriously accident-damaged), with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification: the photos clearly show damage to the front bumper and hood area. The damage appears localized to the front end, but the photos do not independently establish that the vehicle is seriously accident-damaged overall. The pictured-left front bumper corner has extensive white abrasion marks, multiple cracks, creased areas, and an irregular, torn-looking lower edge. The lower front bumper and central fascia also contain broken, uneven plastic with an open gap beneath the grille. A lower lamp or trim insert is missing from the pictured-left lower bumper opening, leaving a dark cavity exposed. The front edge of the hood is raised and uneven at the same corner, with a large, irregular gap above the headlamp and grille area. Further inspection is recommended to check the underlying bumper reinforcement, mounting points, lighting components, hood latch and hinges, cooling components, and any related structural or mechanical damage. The VIN identifies a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe SE SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.4-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a U.S. build location in Alabama. The decoded equipment includes ABS, electronic stability and traction control, front and side-impact airbags, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic-related visibility equipment, parking assistance, and pedestrian automatic emergency braking. The condition and operation of these systems should be checked after repairs. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this vehicle model and year. Recall 18V715000 concerns possible interference with the side-curtain air bags by their mounting bolts; the remedy is installation of protective covers. Recall 23V181000 concerns a possible electrical short and fire risk involving certain tow-hitch harness modules; the remedy may include a fuse and wire-extension kit. Recall completion status for this vehicle has not been provided and should be verified with Hyundai or through an authorized dealer.
