2023 HYUNDAI SANTA FE XRT

The auction record lists a salvage certificate of title and identifies the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the auction’s FRONT END classification. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed or disproved from the available photos. The vehicle has extensive severe damage concentrated at the left front and center front. The left front fender is crushed and folded around the wheel arch, with irregular exposed panel edges. The hood has pronounced buckles and creases across the front-left area and is visibly raised and deformed. The front bumper cover is broken, displaced, and torn away in several areas, including a detached section hanging from the lower left corner. The main upper grille is missing, leaving the radiator and internal front components exposed, and the left front headlamp assembly is absent. A driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel. Multiple light horizontal scuff marks and abrasion-like discoloration are also visible on the exterior of the left front door. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT SUV with 4WD, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. Listed standard equipment includes front and side airbags, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear-view system. One NHTSA recall is listed for this specific model year: campaign 23V181000, concerning a potentially equipped trailer-hitch harness. Water accumulation on the harness module’s circuit board may cause an electrical short and increase the risk of fire. The stated remedy involves installation of a fuse and wire-extension kit as necessary. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
