2024 HYUNDAI TUCSON Blue

The vehicle is a 2024 Hyundai Tucson. The auction record identifies it as having a Salvage Certificate with front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end primary-damage claim; however, the Salvage Certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The documented damage is concentrated at the left side of the front end. The hood has severe buckling, multiple sharp creases, and a raised, uneven front edge. Several grille sections are cracked, broken, displaced, or missing, leaving components exposed behind the grille. The left front headlamp assembly is shattered and incomplete, with broken lens material and exposed internal components. The front bumper cover has extensive cracking and tearing, missing sections, and exposed components at the affected corner. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed and hangs over the wheel spokes. Replacement of the airbag system and inspection of related restraint-system components will be required. NHTSA VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a South Korea-built 2024 Hyundai Tucson SUV with 4WD, a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline/electric hybrid powertrain, and the T-GDI GAMMA II engine. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear automatic emergency braking. Damage or replacement status of these systems is not established by the supplied findings and should be checked during a comprehensive repair inspection and scan. The supplied recall records list four campaigns for this model and year: 23V556000 concerning an incorrect tire and loading information label; 23V526000 concerning possible overheating of the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller; 24V412000 concerning possible loss of electric power-steering assist; and 25V893000 concerning an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness that may allow moisture intrusion. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
