2019 HYUNDAI TUCSON

The vehicle is a 2019 Hyundai Tucson, VIN KM8J33AL7KU874763. NHTSA data identifies it as a gasoline-powered SUV with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder GDI Theta II engine, 7-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drivetrain. It was manufactured in South Korea. The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate, with “rear end” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the provided photos do not establish salvage-certificate status. The rear-end damage classification has limited visible support because a black component at the left rear bumper corner is displaced and protruding outward; however, no substantial rear-end deformation is visibly confirmed. The documented visible damage is limited to the displaced left rear bumper-side trim/component. It is separated from its normal position and extends outward from the bumper corner. The condition is assessed as moderate collision damage. The component, its mounting points, and the surrounding bumper structure should be inspected in person to determine whether repair, replacement, or additional fastening work is required. An NHTSA safety recall, campaign 20V543000, is listed for certain 2019–2021 Hyundai Tucson vehicles. The recall concerns possible internal corrosion of the anti-lock brake hydraulic electronic control unit, which may cause an electrical short and increase the risk of an engine-compartment fire. The remedy includes replacement of the HECU fuse and an electronic stability control software update for 2019–2021 models. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai using the VIN before purchase.
