2026 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL

The vehicle is listed as a 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s stated primary damage is “FRONT END.” However, the photo-review assessment states that the available photos do not show clear front-end collision damage, so the primary-damage claim is not supported by the visible evidence; the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. No separate damage findings were provided. The VIN decodes as a Santa Fe SEL SUV, VIN 5NMP24GL6TH155916, built by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in Montgomery, Alabama. It is equipped with a 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, 4x2 drivetrain, and standard safety features including adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, front and rear automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. NHTSA records list four recalls for the 2025–2026 Hyundai Santa Fe range: a possible engine connecting-rod bolt issue that may cause engine damage or loss of drive power; improperly installed side-curtain air bags; an instrument-cluster software fault that may cause the display to fail; and front seat-belt anchor issues that may require inspection, reinforcement, or replacement. The buyer should confirm applicability to this VIN and verify that all recall remedies have been completed by an authorized Hyundai dealer. A thorough independent inspection is recommended, including the body structure, engine, undercarriage, air-bag system, seat-belt anchors, electrical systems, and title history.
