2025 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE–CLAIM PAID” with a primary damage classification of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible missing front bumper fascia, missing headlamp assemblies, and exposed front-end components support the stated “FRONT END” damage code; the “CERT OF TITLE–CLAIM PAID” status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe has severe collision damage concentrated at the front. The outer front bumper assembly, including the fascia and lower sections, is missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator-area components, brackets, wiring, and internal mounting areas. Both left and right headlamp assemblies are absent, with their mounting points and wiring visible. The outer wheel-arch trim is missing from both front fenders, and additional front-end structural and support components are exposed below and beside the hood and fenders. A detached front bumper assembly is also shown separately on the ground. Several light linear scuff marks are visible on the lower left rear bumper cover. No other damage findings are provided. According to the VIN decode, this is a U.S.-built 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL SUV with four-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.5-liter gasoline T-GDI THETA III engine, and standard safety equipment including forward collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping and lane-departure systems, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rearview camera system. NHTSA recall information provided for this vehicle includes five campaigns involving possible engine connecting-rod bolt tightening issues, the starter-motor positive-terminal cover, rearview-camera wiring, side-curtain air-bag installation, and front seat-belt anchorage. The reported remedies include engine replacement, inspection or reinstallation of the starter terminal cover, replacement of the camera wiring harness, reinstallation of the side-curtain air bags, and inspection or reinforcement/replacement of the seat-belt anchors, as applicable. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase. Because major front-end components are missing or exposed, the vehicle requires a complete structural, cooling-system, wiring, restraint-system, lighting, driver-assistance-system, and mechanical inspection before repair or operation. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, frame, suspension, airbags, or other systems.
