2020 HYUNDAI TUCSON

The vehicle is listed with a “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” condition and an auction primary-damage classification of “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the severe visible deformation of the rear liftgate and rear bumper supports the REAR END classification. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The rear liftgate has severe damage across the center and right side, including extensive dents, deep creases, buckled areas, and a deformed lower edge. The gap above the rear bumper is uneven. The right lower section of the rear bumper is moderately deformed, with a damaged-looking opening or irregular area near its lower edge. Additional collision damage is visible at the front. The hood has moderate uneven deformation on the left side and along the front edge, including a raised and dented area near the left headlamp. The lower front bumper has minor black scuffing and surface scratches around the lower grille and corner areas. The VIN decodes as a 2020 Hyundai Tucson SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea. An NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle model year under campaign 20V543000. The recall concerns possible internal corrosion of the anti-lock brake hydraulic electronic control unit, which may cause an electrical short and an engine-compartment fire. The stated remedy is replacement of the HECU fuse and an electronic stability control software update, performed free of charge by Hyundai. Recall completion for this vehicle should be verified before purchase.
