2024 HYUNDAI SANTA FE XRT

The vehicle is a 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT SUV with 4WD, a 2.5-litre turbocharged gasoline engine, and a VIN-decoded build location in Montgomery, Alabama, USA. The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and lists FRONT END as the primary damage. The provided photo-based assessment supports the FRONT END classification through the substantially deformed hood and scuffing on the front bumper. However, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The hood has severe, broad deformation, including an unevenly raised front section, multiple creases, a distorted leading edge, and light-coloured surface scuffing. The front bumper cover, below and left of the grille and licence-plate mounting area, has minor light-coloured abrasion and scuff marks. No other damage findings were provided. The extent of any underlying structural, mechanical, cooling-system, restraint-system, or sensor damage should be confirmed by a physical inspection and diagnostic testing. The supplied NHTSA data lists the following recalls for 2024 Santa Fe vehicles: recall 24V246000 concerns a rearview-camera image that may be obstructed by a trailer parking-assist message; 24V529000 concerns transmission-control software that may allow the vehicle to roll away while in Park; 24V561000 concerns possible chafing of the main floor wiring harness, which may affect air-bag deployment; 24V843000 concerns an overhead-console rear-sunshade switch; 25V659000 concerns the starter-motor positive-terminal cover and a potential electrical short; 25V808000 concerns rearview-camera wiring that may prevent the image from displaying; and 26V218000 concerns front seat-belt anchors that may detach. The completion status and applicability of these campaigns to this specific VIN should be verified with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
