2024 HYUNDAI TUCSON

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson is listed with a salvage title for flood damage, with the auction’s primary damage recorded as WATER/FLOOD. Stage 1’s photo review found no clear horizontal flood tide line, water staining, silt residue, mold-like discoloration, or visible corrosion on the seats, seat rails, door sills, or wiring. The available photos therefore do not visibly support the stated salvage-title flood damage or WATER/FLOOD claim. However, the instrument cluster shows check-engine, airbag, tire-pressure, and battery-related messages or indicators, which require physical diagnostic inspection. The visible exterior damage is limited to minor cosmetic scuffing on the black lower rear bumper trim. A thin, light-colored surface mark is visible near the right corner, and a separate light surface marking is visible near the left corner. No other damage findings were provided. According to the VIN decode, this is a U.S.-built Tucson SEL with Convenience Package, configured as a 4x2 SUV. It has a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in Montgomery, Alabama. NHTSA records list four recalls for this vehicle’s make, model, and year. These concern an incorrect tire and loading label, a potentially overheating Idle Stop & Go oil-pump controller, a possible loss of electric power-steering assist, and, for vehicles equipped with the optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness, possible water intrusion into the wiring control module. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase. A comprehensive inspection is recommended, including scanning all control modules, checking the electrical system and wiring for moisture-related damage, and confirming the cause of the dashboard warnings.
