2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON

The auction record lists the vehicle condition as “Certificate of Title” and the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the photos show localized hood paint peeling, headlight clouding, and minor surface scuffing, but no substantial front-end collision damage or visible structural deformation. On that basis, the stated FRONT END primary-damage claim is not supported as major collision damage. The Certificate of Title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. Visible exterior issues include light-colored scuffing below the left exterior mirror and across the upper left front-door area. Similar surface marks are present around the right exterior mirror, front-door edge, and adjacent front-fender area. The hood has multiple areas of discolored and peeling paint, including a larger flaking section along the front edge on the right side. Both headlight lenses show yellowed or cloudy areas along their upper and outer portions. The interior shows dark staining and discoloration on the cushions and center sections of both front seats, as well as several dark stains on the rear seat cushion. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Hyundai Tucson SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in Ulsan, South Korea. NHTSA recall records list three campaigns relevant to this model year: campaign 16V842000 concerning an accessory trailer-hitch wiring harness, campaign 21V727000 concerning premature connecting-rod-bearing wear and the required engine inspection/software update, and campaign 20V543000 concerning the ABS/traction-control hydraulic control unit and related fire risk.
