2023 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL Premium

The vehicle is listed with an auction condition of **PERMIT SALVAGE** and a primary damage classification of **FRONT END**. The visible evidence supports the FRONT END primary-damage claim through extensive front-end deformation, missing fascia and lighting components, damaged cooling components, and deployed front airbags. The permit-salvage status cannot be confirmed from photos. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is extensively buckled and sharply creased, while the front bumper cover and grille fascia are missing. Both headlamp assemblies are absent, leaving their mounting areas and wiring exposed. The radiator and condenser are severely crushed, bent, and torn across multiple sections. The front bumper reinforcement is displaced diagonally and visibly deformed. Additional front support, grille, trim, hose, wiring, and underbody components are broken, detached, hanging, or lying beneath the vehicle. Both the driver and front passenger airbags are deployed. The rear bumper cover is displaced along its lower edge, with an uneven gap and exposed lamp area. The lower rear bumper trim and diffuser also have broken and separated sections. Interior cosmetic issues include wear and peeling on the steering-wheel covering and a large brown discoloration with abrasion on the front passenger seat cushion. A NHTSA safety recall is listed for certain 2019–2023 Hyundai Santa Fe vehicles potentially equipped with an original-equipment or dealership-installed tow-hitch harness. Water accumulation in the harness module may cause an electrical short and fire risk. The remedy involves installation of a fuse and wire-extension kit as necessary. The vehicle’s VIN should be checked with Hyundai to confirm whether this recall applies and whether the remedy has been completed.
