2021 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a Certificate of Title and identifies hail as the primary damage. However, the supplied photo assessment reports that the hail claim is not supported by the visible evidence: the hood, visible roof surfaces, and rear liftgate/deck area appear largely smooth, with no dense pattern of small shallow dents or visible hail-dent distribution on the photographed body panels. No additional damage findings were provided. The following NHTSA safety recalls are listed for the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe: - **21V524000 and 21V308000 – Fuel system:** Certain vehicles, particularly those equipped with the 2.5L turbocharged engine, may have an improperly tightened fuel-pipe connection that can leak and increase the risk of fire. The listed remedies involve inspection, tightening, or replacement of the fuel pipe. - **21V00M000 – Windshield:** The windshield may not have been properly bonded and could detach in a crash. The remedy is removal and reinstallation of the windshield. - **21V185000 – Occupant detection system:** The passenger air bag may not deactivate when a child restraint is detected in the front passenger seat, increasing the risk of injury to a child. The recall information states that all affected vehicles had been remedied as of May 12, 2021. - **22V746000 – Automatic transmission:** A transmission oil-pump malfunction may result in loss of drive power. The remedy includes inspection or transmission replacement as necessary, together with a transmission-control-unit software update. - **23V181000 – Trailer-hitch harness:** Water accumulation in the tow-hitch harness module may cause an electrical short and fire. The remedy involves installation of a fuse and wire-extension kit as necessary. This applies to vehicles equipped with an original-equipment or dealer-installed tow-hitch harness. - **24V879000 – Rearview camera:** A damaged circuit board may cause the rearview camera image to fail to display. The remedy is replacement of the rearview camera. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed by checking this vehicle’s VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase.
