2020 HYUNDAI TUCSON

The vehicle is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and REAR END as the auction’s primary damage classification. The visible deformation of the rear liftgate and scuffing on the rear bumper support the listed rear-end damage claim. However, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The rear liftgate has broad inward deformation and multiple creases across the center and lower sections, including the area around the Hyundai emblem and license-plate recess. The rear bumper cover has several horizontal scuff marks and superficial scratches. A small paint chip is also present on the front edge of the hood, slightly left of center. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2020 Hyundai Tucson SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea. An NHTSA safety recall is listed for certain 2019–2021 Hyundai Tucson vehicles involving possible internal corrosion of the ABS/traction-control hydraulic electronic control unit, which could cause an electrical short and increase the risk of an engine-compartment fire. The stated remedy includes replacing the HECU fuse and updating the electronic stability control software. Recall completion for this vehicle should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
