2023 HYUNDAI TUCSON

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The 2023 Hyundai Tucson has severe damage concentrated on the front-left corner. The hood is heavily creased and deformed, with an uneven edge above the left headlamp and fender. The front-left fender is visibly crumpled around the front edge and wheel opening. The bumper cover has large cracks, tears, and displaced sections around the lamp opening and lower fascia. The left grille and adjacent front fascia also have broken or displaced plastic and irregular gaps. Repair will require a detailed inspection of the underlying structure, mounting points, lighting components, wiring, and safety systems; the supplied findings do not establish the condition of those components. The instrument cluster displays “Check headlight LED” along with an exterior-light warning symbol. This indicates a lighting-system fault requiring diagnosis. The supplied findings do not identify the cause or confirm whether the warning is directly related to the collision damage. According to the VIN decode, this is a U.S.-built 2023 Hyundai Tucson SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and the SEL trim with Convenience Package. The decoded vehicle equipment includes LED low-beam headlamps and various driver-assistance systems, including forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keeping, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and pedestrian automatic emergency braking. These systems should be inspected and recalibrated as required after front-end repairs. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and vehicle year. Recall 23V526000 concerns the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller, which may overheat and increase the risk of fire; the remedy involves dealer inspection and replacement of the controller as necessary. Recall 25V893000 applies to vehicles equipped with an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness; incorrectly installed wiring may allow moisture into the control module, potentially causing trailer-light failure or an electrical short. The applicable VIN-specific completion status should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase.
