2018 HYUNDAI TUCSON

The vehicle is a 2018 Hyundai Tucson with a salvage certificate. The auction lists the primary damage as “rear end.” However, the available visible photos do not show clear rear-end collision damage: the rear bumper, liftgate, and taillights appear intact from the available views. Accordingly, the stated rear-end primary-damage claim is not supported by the visible evidence provided. The only recorded visible damage is a minor cosmetic paint chip on the front hood, slightly left of center. A localized irregular area of white finish is missing, exposing a darker underlying surface. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a four-wheel-drive Hyundai Tucson SUV built in South Korea. It has a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. An NHTSA safety recall applies to certain 2016–2018 Tucson vehicles, including 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 increase the risk of an engine-compartment fire. Hyundai’s stated remedy is replacement of the HECU fuse, performed free of charge. The recall repair status for this vehicle should be confirmed with Hyundai or an authorized dealer, and the vehicle should be parked outdoors and away from structures until the repair is completed if it remains outstanding.
