2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON

The auction records list this vehicle as having a salvage vehicle title, with FRONT END recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END damage code, while noting that salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The front bumper cover has severe damage, including a large irregular opening, broken plastic edges, and separation from the adjacent bodywork at the corner near the headlamp. The center and lower grille sections are missing or broken, leaving an open cavity with visible debris and exposed components. A large lower splash shield is detached beneath the bumper and extends downward, with part of it near the ground. Abrasion and scuffing are also visible across the lower bumper surface. The findings indicate substantial damage to the front bumper and surrounding grille and lower-panel components. The available findings do not establish the condition of the underlying cooling system, lighting, sensors, mechanical components, or structural parts. A physical inspection and functional testing are recommended before purchase, particularly because components behind the damaged bumper are exposed. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2017 Hyundai Tucson SUV with a 2.0-liter GDI Nu gasoline four-cylinder engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. Official recall records list three campaigns applicable to certain 2017 Tucson vehicles: campaign 16V842000 concerning an accessory trailer-hitch wiring harness and trailer brake-light operation; campaign 21V727000 concerning premature connecting-rod-bearing wear that may cause engine damage, stalling, or fire; and campaign 20V543000 concerning possible HECU corrosion and an engine-compartment fire risk. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed by an authorized Hyundai dealer using the vehicle’s VIN.
