2025 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL

The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a salvage vehicle title and FRONT END as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports this primary-damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has extensive collision damage. The hood is moderately deformed, with creasing, an uneven raised profile, and an enlarged irregular gap above the front-end components. The front bumper cover, outer fascia, main grille assembly, and both headlamp assemblies are missing. Lower front plastic components are broken, separated, or hanging, while the radiator area, wiring, brackets, and other front-end components are exposed. The detached bumper cover has a missing or broken section at one corner, surface abrasion, and separated grille sections. Additional front lamp and grille components are detached and placed separately from the vehicle. The provided NHTSA VIN decode identifies this vehicle as a 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL SUV, manufactured in Montgomery, Alabama. It is decoded as a four-wheel-drive vehicle with a turbocharged 1.6-liter T-GDI Gamma II gasoline/electric hybrid powertrain. The decode also lists standard features including ABS, electronic stability control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, forward-collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and a rearview camera system. The condition of these systems and their components cannot be established from the supplied findings. NHTSA recall records provided for this model and year include campaign 25V549000 for potentially improperly tightened connecting-rod bolts, which may cause engine damage, loss of drive power, or an oil leak; campaign 25V659000 for an improperly installed starter-motor positive-terminal cover that may cause an electrical short after a crash; campaign 25V808000 for rearview-camera wiring that may prevent the camera image from displaying; campaign 25V809000 concerning improperly installed side-curtain airbags; and campaign 26V218000 concerning front seat-belt anchors that may detach.

Recall completion and VIN-specific applicability should be verified with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
