2020 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim; the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe has severe collision damage concentrated across the front end. The hood is heavily buckled and creased across its front and right-front areas, with a raised and irregular leading edge. The front bumper cover and grille are missing or displaced, exposing internal components, wiring, and plastic parts, some of which are hanging below the front fascia. Both front corners show substantial damage. The front fender and surrounding panels on the image-right side are torn and deformed, with displaced wheel-arch trim and a missing headlamp assembly. The image-left front fender leading edge and wheel-arch area are also torn and deformed, with broken or displaced trim around the headlamp area. The visible radiator and condenser are heavily compressed, and the radiator and surrounding front support structure in the engine-bay area are crushed, bowed, and displaced around their mounting points. The driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, drivetrain, suspension, steering, braking system, electronic systems, or the full extent of structural damage. A comprehensive inspection and diagnostic assessment will be required, including checks of the front structure, cooling system, wiring, airbag and restraint systems, alignment, and any hidden mechanical damage. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model year. Recall 21V00M000 concerns possible improper windshield bonding, which could allow the windshield to detach during a crash. Recall 23V181000 concerns a tow-hitch wiring harness that may short and cause a fire if the vehicle is equipped with the affected harness. Recall completion and vehicle-specific applicability should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
