2019 HYUNDAI TUCSON

The 2019 Hyundai Tucson is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and REAR END as the auction’s primary-damage classification. The rear-end classification is consistent with the reported visible deformation, while the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. Severe damage is concentrated across the full rear section. The rear bumper cover and bumper assembly are absent from the vehicle, exposing mounting brackets, wiring, lower structural components, and exhaust outlets. The removed bumper cover itself has cracks, broken mounting points, and deformation along its lower and side sections. Both rear corners are severely deformed around the tail-lamp mounting areas. The right rear quarter has distorted metal, exposed inner panels, and an irregular opening around the tail lamp. The left rear corner is crushed and irregular, with outer bumper-side trim missing and inner mounting surfaces exposed. The rear liftgate has multiple large dents and sharp creases across the center and lower sections, including distortion around the Hyundai emblem and license-plate area. The reported findings are limited to visible exterior damage. The condition of concealed structural components, wiring, lighting, exhaust components, sensors, the liftgate mechanism, and other mechanical or safety systems requires physical inspection and testing. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a South Korean-built 2019 Hyundai Tucson SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. NHTSA recall 20V543000 applies to certain 2019–2021 Tucson vehicles. It concerns possible internal corrosion of the anti-lock brake hydraulic electronic control unit, which could cause an electrical short and an engine-compartment fire. For 2019–2021 vehicles, the remedy includes replacement of the HECU fuse and an electronic stability-control software update. Recall-completion status for this vehicle should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
