2025 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL

This 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a salvage title and FRONT END as the auction’s primary-damage classification. The visible severe front-end collision damage supports the FRONT END classification. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The hood has extensive buckling, deep creases, and multiple crushed areas across the front and center sections. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are broken and displaced, with large sections missing and internal components exposed. Several grille sections and surrounding trim are cracked, separated, or displaced. The front-left headlamp assembly is absent or extensively broken. The front-left fender and wheel-arch area have broken and missing sections, with exposed fasteners and components. Lower front components at the front-left corner are detached or missing, and internal brackets and wiring are exposed. Electrical wiring is visibly hanging below the front bumper area. Inside the vehicle, the driver’s steering-wheel airbag is deployed. The extent of damage to other airbag components, restraint systems, sensors, cooling systems, structural members, and mechanical or electrical components cannot be determined from the provided findings. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic assessment will be required before repair or purchase decisions are made. The supplied NHTSA recall information lists five recalls applicable to certain vehicles in this model range: campaign 25V549000 concerns potentially improperly tightened engine connecting-rod bolts; 25V659000 concerns the starter-motor positive-terminal cover; 25V808000 concerns rearview-camera wiring and display function; 25V809000 concerns side-curtain airbag installation; and 26V218000 concerns front seat-belt anchors that may detach. The applicable VIN should be checked with Hyundai or NHTSA to confirm whether these recalls affect this vehicle and whether the required remedies have been completed.
