2019 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SE

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a Salvage Certificate of Title, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible deformation on the left side is consistent with the auction’s SIDE damage code; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The documented damage is a moderate dent and crease affecting the left rear door and adjacent lower side panel. A broad concave deformation with visible creasing extends across the lower and middle portion of the door and toward the adjacent lower side area. No other damage findings were provided. The condition of the door’s operation, internal structure, window mechanism, locking system, wiring, and surrounding components should be checked during a physical inspection. The VIN decodes as a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe SE SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter gasoline four-cylinder GDI Theta II engine, and production in Alabama, USA. The decoded vehicle equipment includes standard side-curtain airbags for the first and second rows, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and rear parking assistance. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 18V715000 concerns side-curtain-airbag mounting bolts that may damage the airbags during deployment; the remedy involves installing protective covers over the mounting bolts. Recall 23V181000 concerns a potentially affected trailer-hitch wiring harness that may short and cause a fire; the remedy involves installing a fuse and wire-extension kit as necessary. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
