2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON Blue

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title and a FRONT END primary-damage designation. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is extensively creased and buckled across the left and center sections, with sharp deformation and a raised, irregular front edge. The front bumper cover, grille, headlights, front trim, lamp surrounds, bumper-side sections, and lower fascia components are missing. Both front corners are open, exposing mounting areas, brackets, connectors, wiring, and internal components. The radiator, condenser area, auxiliary cooling components, and associated mounting hardware are also visibly exposed. Detached front-end parts, including bumper or fascia sections, grille or trim pieces, and lamp assemblies, are shown separately from the vehicle. The provided findings document substantial loss of front-end components, but they do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, wiring, airbags, or mechanical systems. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic assessment will be required before repair or purchase decisions are made.
