2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON

The auction lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE SLVG REBUILDABLE” with “REAR END” as the primary damage. The visible missing rear bumper, exposed rear body components, and hanging exhaust support the stated REAR END damage code. However, the salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The rear bumper cover and associated corner trim are missing across the rear of the vehicle, exposing the bumper mounting points, wiring, inner body areas, and other normally covered components. The rear exhaust and muffler are visibly hanging below the body on the right side. Both rear quarter panels have scratches, abrasions, and scuffed paint around the bumper opening. Additional light scuffing is present on both rear doors and the lower side areas. Both front headlight lenses appear cloudy and oxidized. The findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structural components, exhaust system, wiring, sensors, or mechanical systems. These areas should be physically inspected and tested before purchase and repair. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Hyundai Tucson SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 16V842000 concerns an accessory trailer-hitch wiring harness that may cause trailer brake lights to remain illuminated, if the vehicle is equipped with the affected harness. Recall 21V727000 concerns premature connecting-rod-bearing wear that may cause engine damage, stalling, or fire; the remedy includes engine inspection, possible replacement, and installation of a knock-sensor detection software update. Recall 20V543000 concerns possible internal corrosion of the ABS/traction-control hydraulic control unit, which may cause an electrical short and engine-compartment fire; the remedy includes replacement of the HECU fuse. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
