2020 HYUNDAI TUCSON

This 2020 Hyundai Tucson is listed with a salvage title, with the auction identifying the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports this unverified auction claim, although significant rear-end damage is also visible. Front-end damage includes moderate deformation along the leading edge of the hood, with an uneven gap above the grille. The grille surround and adjacent chrome trim are displaced, with broken edges and gaps on both sides. The lower left side of the front bumper cover has minor scraping and scuffing. The rear also shows substantial collision damage. The left rear tail lamp has a broken or missing lens section, exposing internal components and wiring. The adjacent left rear quarter panel is creased and deformed. The lower center of the rear liftgate has a pronounced dent and crease above the license-plate recess, while the upper edge of the rear bumper cover has a long split or crack. Material or trim is missing from the outer edge of the right rear tail-lamp area, with wiring exposed. According to the VIN decode, this is a South Korea-built Hyundai Tucson SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.4-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model year: recall 20V543000 concerns possible internal corrosion of the anti-lock brake hydraulic electronic control unit, which could cause an electrical short and an engine-compartment fire. The stated remedy includes replacing the HECU fuse and updating the electronic stability control software. The completion status of this recall for the vehicle is not provided and should be verified with Hyundai or an authorised dealer.
