2022 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL w/ Premium Pkg

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate, with hail recorded as the auction’s primary damage classification. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible hood, rear hatch, and portions of the roof appear largely smooth, with no clear dense pattern of numerous small shallow dents on the upward-facing panels. Stage 1 therefore found that the visible evidence does not support the hail classification. The salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed or evaluated from exterior photographs alone. The documented visible damage is limited to minor cosmetic scuffing inside the cabin. Several light, irregular scuff marks are present on the black rear center armrest, and light surface scuffing is visible on the front center-console lid. No other findings were provided. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL with Premium Package, configured as a gasoline-powered SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder GDI Theta III engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. Five NHTSA recalls are listed for this model year. They concern a possible high-pressure fuel-pipe leak on certain 2.5-liter turbocharged vehicles; a turbocharger oil-supply-pipe crack on certain 2022 vehicles; an automatic-transmission fail-safe condition that may lead to loss of drive power; a tow-hitch harness electrical short on vehicles equipped with the affected harness; and a rearview-camera failure caused by a damaged circuit board. Applicability and completion status should be verified against this vehicle’s VIN and service records before purchase.
