2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON

The vehicle is a 2017 Hyundai Tucson with a salvage certificate of title. The auction lists the primary damage as front end. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-left collision damage supports this primary-damage classification, while the salvage-title status cannot be independently confirmed from photographs. The front-left bumper cover has a large torn and missing section, with broken edges and internal components exposed. The bumper fascia is also split and detached around the front-left corner and lower edge. The lower edge of the front-left fender, below the headlamp and adjacent to the wheel arch, has broken and missing material. These areas will require repair or replacement, and additional damage behind the visible exterior should be assessed during a physical inspection. The instrument cluster shows an illuminated check-engine warning. The underlying cause cannot be identified from the available findings, so diagnostic testing is recommended before purchase or repair planning. According to the VIN decode, this Tucson is a gasoline-powered SUV equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea. Official recall records list three campaigns for 2017 Tucson vehicles: an accessory trailer-hitch wiring harness issue, premature connecting-rod-bearing wear that may cause engine damage, and an HECU issue that may lead to an electrical short and engine-compartment fire. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is operated.
