2023 HYUNDAI TUCSON

The auction record lists the vehicle condition as “PERMIT TO SELL” and the primary damage as “SIDE.” The provided assessment states that the “SIDE” classification is supported by the visible left-side damage, including missing and damaged doors, damage to the side sill, and displacement of the left side mirror. It also states that “PERMIT TO SELL” is an administrative designation that cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front and rear left doors are absent from the vehicle, leaving both door openings exposed. The detached doors have severe damage, including broad dents, sharp creases, deformation along their lower and side edges, and paint scuffing. The exposed left rocker or side-sill area has creases, irregular edges, and scraping beneath both door openings. The left side-mirror housing is displaced upward from its normal position, and the instrument display shows a side-view-mirror warning message. White airbag fabric is protruding from the left front seat side seam and hanging from the roof-side area near the left door openings, indicating visible deployment of side airbag components. The findings describe severe collision damage to the left side, but they do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s structure, mechanical systems, wiring, restraint-system components, or remaining body panels. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic scan would be necessary before purchase. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and model year. Recall 23V526000 concerns the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller, which may overheat and increase the risk of fire; the remedy involves inspection and replacement of the controller as necessary. Recall 25V893000 applies to vehicles equipped with an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness. Incorrect installation may allow moisture into the control module, potentially causing trailer-light failure or an electrical short; the listed remedy is removal of the harness and installation of a dust cap. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is operated.
