2024 HYUNDAI TUCSON Limited

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson is listed with a salvage title, and the auction’s stated primary damage is “rear end.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified auction claim: the rear bumper cover and both rear tail lamps are missing, large sections of both rear quarter panels are absent, and the liftgate is visibly deformed. The rear bumper cover is missing across the vehicle, exposing the lower rear structure, mounting areas, wiring, and other underlying components. Both rear tail lamp assemblies are absent, leaving their mounting areas and lamp cavities exposed. Large sections of the right and left rear quarter panels are missing around the wheel openings and rear corners, with inner body components visible. The wheel-arch trim is also missing on both sides. The outer liftgate panel has broad, irregular deformation and creasing across its lower and side areas. The extent of the visible rear structural and body-panel damage means that repairs may involve bodywork, replacement exterior panels, lighting, wiring, bumper components, and inspection of underlying structural and mechanical systems. The provided findings do not confirm the condition of those concealed components or the vehicle’s operational status. NHTSA recall records provided for this model year include recalls concerning an incorrect tire and loading label, a potentially overheating Idle Stop & Go oil-pump controller, possible loss of electric power-steering assist, and, for vehicles equipped with an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness, possible water intrusion into the harness control module. Recall repair status is not provided and should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
