2022 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL

The vehicle is listed with a salvage/rebuildable title designation, and the auction identifies the primary damage as rear-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated rear-end damage claim. The salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The rear bumper cover is missing, with internal bumper components, mounting areas, and wiring exposed at the right rear corner. Exterior trim and bumper-corner panels are also absent around the right rear quarter and wheel-arch area. The bumper cover and several associated plastic pieces are detached and lying on the ground. The muffler and connected exhaust components are likewise detached from the vehicle. The lower rear bumper area remains open, with exposed mounting structures and wiring hanging below the rear body. Severe deformation is visible at the left rear quarter and wheel-arch area, including irregular panel edges around the rear lamp and exposed internal components. The left rear bumper corner and adjacent outer trim are missing, leaving internal brackets and other components exposed. The findings indicate substantial damage to the rear bumper assembly and both rear corner areas. A physical inspection should assess the rear body structure, mounting points, exhaust system, wiring, lighting, and any related safety or parking-assistance systems before repair or operation. Several official recalls are listed for the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe. Certain vehicles equipped with a 2.5L turbocharged engine may have a fuel-pipe connection that can leak; the remedy involves inspection, tightening, or replacement as necessary. A separate recall concerns a turbocharger oil-supply pipe that may crack and leak. Another concerns a transmission oil-pump malfunction that may result in loss of drive power. Vehicles equipped with an affected original-equipment or dealer-installed tow-hitch harness may also be subject to a recall involving an electrical short and fire risk. A further recall concerns failure of the rearview camera image caused by a damaged circuit board. Recall applicability and completion status should be verified by VIN with Hyundai before purchase.
