2024 HYUNDAI TUCSON Limited

The auction lists the vehicle’s condition as “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” and identifies “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Based on the Stage 1 photo review, the visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification, with extensive damage to the front fascia, hood, lighting area, cooling stack, and radiator support. The certificate-of-title status cannot be verified from the photographs. The hood is severely creased and deformed across its leading edge and center, with an uneven raised gap above the front fascia. The front grille is missing from the vehicle; the removed grille component has broken and separated sections, damaged mounting points, and detached plastic pieces. The front bumper cover and lower fascia have torn and broken areas, large openings, displaced edges, and missing grille or trim sections. The front fender adjacent to the headlamp and hood is moderately deformed, with visible creasing and an irregular panel gap. The front-left lighting area has an open cavity with internal components exposed, and the corresponding outer lamp assembly, or portions of it, is missing. The cooling-stack fins are compressed, uneven, and bent across multiple sections. More severe deformation is visible in the upper and lower radiator-support areas, including bent support members, displaced mounting areas, and broken or separated plastic and metal components. Several engine-bay covers and shrouds are cracked, broken, displaced, or absent, and additional detached front-end trim pieces are damaged. The provided findings document substantial front-end collision damage but do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, electrical systems, airbags, steering, suspension, or other components that are not described. A comprehensive physical inspection and functional testing will be necessary after repairs or before purchase. NHTSA recall records list four campaigns for the 2024 Hyundai Tucson: recall 23V556000 concerns an incorrect tire and loading information label; recall 23V526000 concerns the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller, which may overheat and increase fire risk; recall 24V412000 concerns a possible loss of electric power-steering assist; and recall 25V893000 concerns an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness that may allow moisture intrusion, potentially causing trailer-light failure or an electrical short. Recall completion and applicability should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
