2022 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL

The 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a salvage certificate of title, with “FRONT END” recorded as the auction’s primary damage classification. The visible evidence supports front-end damage through abrasion and paint scuffing at the front bumper and hood corner; no directly visible structural front-end deformation is shown. Observed damage includes moderate white abrasion and localized paint scuffing on the vehicle-left outer front bumper below and beside the left headlamp. Several minor light-colored scratches are also visible along the left front edge of the hood. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed, with the airbag cushion protruding from the steering-wheel center. Airbag-system inspection and replacement of deployed components may therefore be required. The findings do not establish the condition of other airbags, restraint-system components, mechanical systems, or hidden structural areas. According to the VIN decode, this is a Santa Fe SEL SUV with 4WD, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. NHTSA records list five recalls for the 2022 Santa Fe model year: a fuel-pipe leak recall for certain vehicles with 2.5-liter turbocharged engines; a turbocharger oil-supply-pipe recall; an automatic-transmission fail-safe and software recall; a trailer-hitch harness electrical-short recall for vehicles equipped with the applicable harness; and a rearview-camera recall. Applicability to this specific vehicle and completion of any repairs should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
