2020 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL

The auction lists the primary damage as “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible missing and detached rear bumper components, together with deformation of the lower liftgate, support this unverified claim. The auction condition is listed as “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE”; however, Stage 1 notes that certificate-of-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The rear bumper cover is missing across most of the vehicle’s width. Internal bumper-area components, wiring, and mounting points are exposed, and loose bumper pieces are hanging below the rear body. Both the left and right rear bumper corners have separated or detached components, with open areas and internal parts visible. The lower liftgate has a broad horizontal crease and several deformed areas above the missing bumper assembly. Paint abrasion, scuffing, and irregular damaged edges are also visible along the lower liftgate and rear bumper mounting area. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 21V00M000 concerns a potentially improperly bonded windshield that may detach during a crash; the remedy is windshield removal and reinstallation by a dealer. Recall 23V181000 concerns a tow-hitch harness that may develop an electrical short and cause a fire if water accumulates on its control module. This recall applies to vehicles potentially equipped with the affected original-equipment or dealer-installed tow-hitch harness, and the vehicle should be checked to determine applicability and remedy status. The recall repair history should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
