2020 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SE

This 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a salvage title and an auction primary-damage classification of Front End. The provided photo assessment reports that the visible evidence supports front-end damage: the hood is deformed and the windshield is cracked, while major front-bumper or headlamp breakage is not visible. The windshield has multiple branching cracks and at least two concentrated impact areas. Damage includes a large starburst-shaped cracked section in the lower passenger-side area and additional cracking near the upper center. The hood has broad, irregular depressions and visible creasing across the front and center-left sections. The available findings do not document damage to other areas or confirm the condition of concealed components, structural elements, safety systems, or mechanical systems. Factory data identifies the vehicle as a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe SE SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 21V00M000 concerns possible improper windshield bonding, which could allow the windshield to detach during a crash; the stated remedy is removal and reinstallation of the windshield. Recall 23V181000 concerns a possible electrical short and fire risk involving certain tow-hitch harnesses, with a fuse and wire-extension repair as the remedy. Recall completion and applicability to this specific vehicle should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer. A replacement windshield, hood repair or replacement, and a detailed inspection of the front-end structure, restraint and driver-assistance systems, wiring, cooling components, and mechanical systems are recommended before purchase.
