2025 HYUNDAI TUCSON Limited

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title, with “REAR END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence strongly supports this rear-end damage claim: severe damage is visible to the liftgate, rear glass area, rear bumper, and surrounding rear body panels. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The rear liftgate is severely crushed and heavily creased across the centre and lower sections. The rear window glass is missing, with glass remnants visible around parts of the opening. The upper rear body, roof area, hatch surround, and both rear quarter or hatch-side panels are visibly deformed, with buckled metal, displaced edges, and exposed inner body surfaces. The rear bumper cover is missing across the vehicle’s width, exposing lower body components, exhaust components, mounting areas, and wiring. A loose electrical connector and wiring are hanging beneath the rear bumper area. The hood also has moderate collision damage. Its front centre-right section has a pronounced crease and raised, uneven deformation, while the front edge is buckled with a deep crease and an irregular contour above the grille. The provided recall information lists several campaigns for 2025 Hyundai Tucson vehicles. Recall 24V691000 concerns a potentially missing glove-box air-bag warning label; Hyundai’s remedy is to provide the label free of charge. Recall 24V877000 concerns console-extension wiring that may allow the transmission to shift out of Park without the brake pedal applied; dealers are to reroute the wiring, and owners are advised to use the parking brake. Recall 25V549000 concerns improperly tightened connecting-rod bolts that may cause engine damage, loss of drive power, or an oil leak; the stated remedy is engine replacement. Recall 25V809000 concerns improperly installed side-curtain air bags; dealers are to reinstall them. Recall 26V316000 concerns front-camera software that may activate forward collision avoidance and apply the brakes unexpectedly; a software update is the stated remedy. Recall 26V400000 concerns an instrument-panel display failure caused by software; the display software is to be updated over the air or by a dealer. The vehicle’s VIN should be checked with Hyundai or NHTSA to confirm which campaigns apply and whether the remedies have been completed.
