2020 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Certificate of Title” and identifies hail as the primary damage. However, Stage 1 reported that the roof, hood, and liftgate appeared largely smooth, without numerous small shallow dents concentrated on the upward-facing panels; its conclusion was that the visible evidence did not support the claimed hail damage. No additional damage findings were provided. The vehicle is identified by VIN 5NMS3CADXLH217854 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. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 21V00M000 concerns possible improper bonding of the windshield, which could allow it to detach in a crash; the specified remedy is removal and reinstallation of the front windshield. Recall 23V181000 concerns a potential electrical short and fire risk involving the tow-hitch wiring harness, where applicable; the remedy involves installation of a fuse and wire-extension kit as necessary. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
