2024 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL

The vehicle is a 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL with VIN 5NMP24GL5RH002209. It is a 4x2 gasoline SUV equipped with a turbocharged 2.5-liter T-GDI THETA III engine. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama LLC in Montgomery, Alabama. No specific damage findings were provided in the supplied inspection data. The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage title and lists hail as the primary damage. These are auction classifications and are not independently established findings. Stage 1 reports that the visible roof and hood surfaces appear largely smooth, without the dense, shallow dent pattern on upward-facing panels that would support the hail classification; the visible evidence does not support the stated primary-damage code. Stage 1 also states that the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the exterior photos. Official recall information provided for this model year includes the following campaigns: - 24V246000: A software issue may obstruct the rearview-camera image with a trailer parking-assist message. The remedy is an over-the-air software update. - 24V529000: A transmission-control software error may allow the vehicle to roll away while in Park. The remedy includes an over-the-air update and, where necessary, dealer inspection and replacement of the dual-clutch transmission. - 24V561000: The main floor wiring harness may chafe against the second-row seat assembly, potentially causing unintended air-bag deployment or preventing deployment in a crash. Dealers are to inspect and repair or replace the harness as necessary. - 24V843000: The rear sunshade switch knob may not be fully recessed and could cause unintentional sunshade closure. The remedy is replacement of the switch knobs. - 25V659000: An improperly installed starter-motor positive-terminal cover may cause an electrical short during a crash, increasing fire risk. Dealers are to inspect and reinstall the cover as necessary. - 25V808000: Improper rearview-camera installation may damage the wiring harness and cause the camera image to fail. The remedy is replacement of the camera wiring harness. - 26V218000: The front seat-belt anchors may detach. Dealers are to inspect and reinforce or replace the anchors as necessary. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized Hyundai dealer before purchase or road use. A physical inspection and review of the salvage-title history are recommended, particularly because the supplied findings do not establish the vehicle’s overall condition or the reason for the salvage designation.
