2019 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SE

The auction lists the vehicle as Salvage with “Left Front” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated left-front primary-damage claim; however, the Salvage title status cannot be independently confirmed from photographs. The visible damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The front bumper cover is broken, displaced, and partly missing, with internal brackets and components exposed. The lower bumper section and auxiliary/fog lamp assembly are detached and hanging below the corner. The left front fender is severely crushed and folded around the wheel arch, with deep creasing, torn and irregular panel edges, missing surrounding trim, and exposed wheel-well components. Several light linear scuffs are also visible near the front edge of the left front door. The VIN decodes as a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe SE SUV with 4WD, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a reported 185 horsepower. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. The available findings do not provide information about mechanical operation, alignment, suspension, steering, airbags, or hidden structural damage, so these areas require a thorough physical inspection before purchase and repair. Two official NHTSA recalls are listed for this vehicle: recall 18V715000 concerns side-curtain air-bag mounting bolts that may damage the airbags during deployment, and recall 23V181000 concerns a potential electrical short and fire risk involving certain tow-hitch harnesses. Recall completion should be confirmed with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
