2021 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL w/ Convenience Pkg

The vehicle is a 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s primary-damage designation is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence strongly supports this primary-damage claim; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is extensively creased, buckled, and deformed across the front and left-front areas. The front bumper cover, grille, headlamp assemblies, and other fascia components are missing, exposing the radiator assembly and internal front-end components. The front-left fender and wheel-arch area are sharply crushed and torn, with detached material and exposed components. The metal bumper reinforcement is displaced and deformed. The radiator and cooling-package area also show displaced brackets, detached plastic parts, hanging wiring, and damage to surrounding components. Multiple airbags have deployed, including the driver steering-wheel airbag, the passenger-side dashboard airbag, and a left-side curtain airbag. The roof trim and headliner are hanging over the rear seating area, with fractured and missing plastic sections. The windshield has extensive cracking across both its upper and lower portions. The rear bumper has minor scuffs, scratches, and areas of paint transfer, particularly along the lower left corner. No other findings are provided. The listed recalls for this model and year include potential fuel-pipe leaks on vehicles equipped with the applicable 2.5-litre turbocharged engine, a windshield-bonding issue, an occupant-detection system issue affecting passenger-airbag operation, an automatic-transmission fail-safe and possible loss-of-drive-power issue, a tow-hitch harness fire risk where the applicable harness is installed, and a rearview-camera failure issue. Recall repairs should be verified by VIN and confirmed with Hyundai before the vehicle is returned to service. Given the cracked windshield and deployed airbags, the related restraint, windshield, electrical, cooling, and front-end systems require comprehensive inspection and repair.
