2019 HYUNDAI TUCSON

The vehicle is a 2019 Hyundai Tucson listed with a PERMIT SALVAGE condition and FRONT END primary-damage classification. The visible extensive hood, grille, bumper, and front fascia damage supports the stated FRONT END primary-damage code. The PERMIT SALVAGE condition cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is crushed and folded across nearly its full width, with deep creases, torn or split metal, and a damaged leading edge. The grille is fractured, buckled, and deformed, with broken sections and open gaps. The front bumper cover has extensive cracking, tearing, displacement, and missing or open areas, particularly around the grille and front corners. Both front corners show broken or separated fascia material and large gaps around the hood, headlamp areas, fenders, and bumper. The trim around the lower bumper opening and front corners is cracked, broken, or detached. The headlamp surround and adjacent mounting area on the right side as viewed are also visibly damaged. The condition of the headlamps, radiator support, cooling system, sensors, engine compartment, suspension, steering, and other components behind the damaged panels cannot be determined from the supplied findings. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is deployed, and a second lower driver airbag cushion or fabric assembly is visible near the steering column. An airbag warning indicator is illuminated on the instrument cluster. The restraint-system components, control modules, seat belts, and related wiring will require inspection and likely repair or replacement. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2019 Hyundai Tucson SUV with 4WD, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model year: recall 20V543000 concerns possible internal corrosion and an electrical short in the ABS/traction-control hydraulic electronic control unit, which could result in an engine-compartment fire. The stated remedy includes replacement of the HECU fuse and an ESC software update for 2019–2021 vehicles, performed free of charge. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase or operation.
