2024 HYUNDAI TUCSON

The auction record identifies this 2024 Hyundai Tucson as having a salvage title and lists FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The main damage is concentrated at the front-left corner. The front bumper cover is severely detached, pulled outward, and exposing internal mounting components. It is also cracked, scuffed, and distorted. The front-left headlamp is displaced, with gaps and mounting areas visible around the assembly. Adjacent grille sections are broken or displaced, and the upper front/radiator-support plastic cover has a visible split and open gap. The front-left wheel-arch trim is missing, leaving fastener holes and exposed mounting surfaces. The front-left edge of the hood is uneven and raised relative to the headlamp and grille, with chipped paint along the edge. The driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel. Repairs should therefore include a complete inspection of the front structure, lighting and mounting systems, airbag and restraint systems, wiring, and any related safety-system components before the vehicle is considered roadworthy. The provided findings do not establish the condition of mechanical, structural, or unseen components. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a U.S.-built 2024 Hyundai Tucson SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline GDI Theta III engine, and the SEL trim with Convenience Package. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear automatic emergency braking. The presence or operating condition of these systems after the collision has not been verified. NHTSA records list four recalls for this vehicle year and model: an incorrect tire and loading information label; a potential overheating electric oil-pump controller; a possible loss of electric power-steering assist; and, for vehicles equipped with the optional Mobis tow-hitch wiring harness, possible moisture intrusion causing trailer-light failure or an electrical short. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
