2025 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL

This 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a salvage title and an auction-designated primary damage code of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing and detached front-end components support the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front bumper cover assembly is detached and lying separately from the vehicle. The bumper cover, lower fascia panels, and other front-corner body and trim components are missing, leaving cooling components, wiring, brackets, mounting points, and the front crossbar exposed. The headlamp assembly is also missing at the front corner on the right side of the image. The hood has deformation and chipped paint at the adjacent front corner, and the front wheel-arch trim is detached or absent. Overall, the visible damage is concentrated across the front fascia and front corner and is classified as severe in several areas. The instrument cluster displays a “Check Active Air Flap System” message with a warning indicator. This is a qualitative mechanical/electrical concern that should be investigated during a physical inspection and diagnostic scan. NHTSA decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL SUV with 4WD, a gasoline 2.5-liter turbocharged T-GDI THETA III engine, and a United States manufacturing location in Montgomery, Alabama. The decoded equipment includes standard adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear visibility equipment; the condition and functionality of these systems cannot be established from the supplied findings. The provided recall information lists five applicable make/model/year recall campaigns to verify by VIN and repair history: 25V549000, concerning potentially improperly tightened connecting-rod bolts; 25V659000, concerning the starter motor positive-terminal cover; 25V808000, concerning rearview-camera wiring; 25V809000, concerning side-curtain air-bag installation; and 26V218000, concerning front seat-belt anchors. The completion status of these recalls is not provided. Because of the extensive front-end disassembly and the active air-flap warning, a comprehensive inspection should include the cooling system, wiring, lighting, air-bag and restraint systems, driver-assistance sensors, structural components, and diagnostic fault codes before purchase or repair.
