2019 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SE

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as SIDE. Visible damage to the left side supports the auction’s SIDE damage code. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The left front door has a large inward dent with pronounced creasing and irregular deformation across the middle and lower sections. The body-colored fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the dark filler housing exposed. Light-colored abrasion and scraping are visible on the left rear quarter panel below and behind the fuel-filler area, extending toward the rear wheel-arch region. The listed damage is moderate in severity. The available findings do not establish the condition of hidden structural, mechanical, electrical, or safety-related components, so a physical inspection is recommended before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe SE SUV with four-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.4-liter four-cylinder GDI THETA II engine, and a reported five-seat, two-row configuration. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. NHTSA records list two recalls for this vehicle configuration. Recall 18V715000 concerns side-curtain air-bag mounting bolts that may damage the airbags during deployment; the remedy is installation of protective covers. Recall 23V181000 concerns possible water-related electrical shorting in a tow-hitch harness module, which may create a fire risk; the remedy involves a fuse and wire-extension kit as necessary. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai using the VIN before purchase.
