2019 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SE

The vehicle is listed as “REBUILT SALVAGE – DEALER ONLY,” with HAIL recorded as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the roof, hood, and rear liftgate/deck area appear largely smooth, without the dense pattern of small shallow dents typically associated with hail damage; based on the visible evidence, the HAIL claim is not supported. The documented visible damage is limited to minor cosmetic scuffing on the lower left corner of the front bumper. The light-colored abrasion appears localized, with no clear cracking or missing material visible. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe SE SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a U.S. Alabama manufacturing origin. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model year. Recall 18V715000 concerns possible interference between side-curtain-airbag mounting bolts and the airbags; the remedy is installation of protective covers. Recall 23V181000 concerns a possible electrical short and fire risk involving certain trailer-hitch harnesses; the remedy involves a fuse and wire-extension kit as necessary. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN. A thorough inspection of the vehicle’s structural condition, repair quality, airbag system, and mechanical components is recommended before purchase.
