2024 HYUNDAI TUCSON Limited

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE title and lists REAR END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the unverified rear-end damage claim, citing extensive damage to the liftgate, rear glass, bumper, lamps, quarter panels, and hatch opening. Stage 1 also states that the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE title status cannot be independently confirmed from exterior photographs. The rear bumper assembly is detached and lying on the ground, with internal brackets, wiring, and mounting components exposed. The rear bumper cover and outer lamp components are missing, and the lower rear body structure and exhaust components are exposed. The liftgate is severely crushed, with deep creasing and inward deformation across the center and lower sections. The rear window glass is missing, leaving jagged glass remnants around the opening. The rear body metal, quarter-panel areas, hatch opening, and roof-side edges show extensive buckling, creasing, and inward deformation. Damage is present at both rear corners, including the left and right quarter areas. Wheel-arch cladding is missing on both sides, leaving mounting holes, unfinished body edges, and inner body surfaces exposed. The rear lamp assemblies are damaged and incomplete. The findings indicate substantial collision damage concentrated across the complete rear structure and exterior. Internal mounting parts and wiring are exposed. The provided findings do not establish the condition of mechanical, electrical, restraint, suspension, alignment, or structural components not visible in the recorded areas; these systems require inspection before purchase or repair planning. The recall information provided lists four NHTSA campaigns for certain 2024 Hyundai Tucson vehicles: - Campaign 23V556000: The tire and loading information label may incorrectly refer to a spare tire. Dealers are to inspect and replace the label if necessary. - Campaign 23V526000: The Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller may overheat, creating a fire risk. Dealers are to inspect and replace the controller as necessary; owners were advised to park away from structures until the repair is completed. - Campaign 24V412000: A power-steering circuit-board fault may cause loss of power-steering assist. Dealers are to replace the electric power pack. - Campaign 25V893000: On vehicles equipped with an optional Mobis tow-hitch wiring harness, incorrect installation may allow moisture into the control module, potentially causing trailer-light failure or an electrical short. The remedy is removal of the harness and installation of a dust cap; owners were advised to park away from structures until the repair is completed. Recall applicability and completion status should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
