2026 HYUNDAI TUCSON HYBRID Limited, Night

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE, with REAR END recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe rear-end damage supports the stated REAR END claim; however, salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The vehicle has extensive visible damage concentrated at the rear. The rear liftgate is deeply crushed and folded across the center and lower sections, including deformation around the license-plate recess. The liftgate window glass is completely missing, and the surrounding window frame, sill, trim, and lower liftgate sections are distorted, broken, displaced, or missing. The rear bumper cover is detached and hanging down, with separated sections and exposed components behind it. The lower right bumper section is missing, while the lower center and right bumper trim is broken and displaced. The damage is visible from multiple views, but the condition of components behind the damaged panels and any underlying structural or electrical damage requires physical inspection. The VIN decodes as a 2026 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid SUV with 4WD, a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine and a single electric motor. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea and is identified with the Limited/Night trim designation. The supplied data also lists standard features including ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. These systems should be inspected and recalibrated as necessary after repairs. The supplied NHTSA information lists four recalls applicable to the 2026 Tucson Hybrid model: campaigns 26V047000 and 26V400000 concern instrument-panel display software that may cause the display to fail; 26V254000 concerns potentially misassembled B-pillar side-impact sensors that could delay air-bag deployment; and 26V316000 concerns front-camera software that may cause premature and unexpected automatic braking. The listed remedies involve software updates or inspection and replacement of impact sensors, free of charge through Hyundai. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
