2024 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL

This 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a salvage title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with severe damage across the hood, bumper and grille area, headlamp areas, cooling components, and other front-end parts. The hood is heavily crushed and folded across the front and center sections, including a deep deformation around the Hyundai emblem. The front bumper, grille, corner trim, and both headlamp assemblies are missing. The radiator, condenser, and surrounding cooling components are substantially bent and compressed. Numerous front-end plastic and metal components are broken, absent, or displaced, while wiring harnesses hang loose below the front opening. Orange high-voltage cables and associated hybrid-system components are exposed on the right side of the engine compartment. The passenger compartment also shows severe impact-related damage. The driver, front passenger, side, and curtain airbags are visibly deployed. The center infotainment display is extensively cracked, and the dashboard and center-console components are detached or displaced, with exposed openings, wiring, and loose parts. Interior panels, trim, and components in the rear passenger area have also been removed or detached, leaving exposed wiring and disassembled parts across the seating and floor areas. The provided NHTSA recall records list several campaigns for the 2024 Santa Fe, including rearview-camera software and wiring issues (24V246000 and 25V808000), transmission-control software and possible dual-clutch transmission concerns that may allow the vehicle to roll away in Park (24V529000), a floor-harness issue affecting airbag deployment (24V561000), an overhead-console sunshade switch issue (24V843000), a starter terminal-cover issue that may cause an electrical short after a crash (25V659000), and front seat-belt anchor concerns (26V218000). Recall repairs should be confirmed by VIN and verified as completed before the vehicle is considered roadworthy. Given the extensive collision damage and exposed high-voltage components, a comprehensive inspection and repair assessment by qualified body, electrical, restraint-system, and hybrid-system technicians will be required.
