2022 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL w/ Premium Pkg

This 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a salvage title and an auction primary-damage designation of “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified auction claim: the rear bumper cover and both outer rear lamp assemblies are missing, with rear mounting areas and wiring exposed. The rear bumper cover and lower bumper trim are absent across the visible rear width. The exposed area includes the bumper reinforcement area, hitch receiver, exhaust outlet, wiring, and mounting brackets. Both left and right outer tail-lamp assemblies are missing, leaving open lamp cavities with visible brackets and wiring. The tailgate-mounted lamp sections remain visible. The provided findings document exterior rear-end component loss; they do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, exhaust system, wiring, sensors, or hitch assembly. A physical inspection is recommended before purchase and repair. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a U.S.-built 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV with front-wheel drive, a 2.5-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and the SEL with Premium Package trim. The decoded safety equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear visibility system. The VIN data identifies the engine as GDI THETA III but does not specify turbocharging. Official NHTSA recall records provided for this model and year include campaigns concerning the fuel-delivery pipe on certain 2.5-litre turbocharged vehicles, the turbocharger oil-supply pipe, automatic-transmission fail-safe operation, tow-hitch harness electrical shorts, and possible rearview-camera failure. Applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai, particularly because some campaigns depend on equipment or engine configuration. Given the missing rear lighting and bumper components, the rearview camera, parking/rear-sensing equipment, lighting, wiring, and any tow-hitch harness should be checked carefully before the vehicle is operated.
