2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON Limited

This 2022 Hyundai Tucson is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Based on Stage 1’s photo review, the visible missing left front fender and damaged left exterior mirror support the auction’s unverified front-end damage claim. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The left front fender panel is missing, exposing the wheel-well area and multiple mounting points. The left exterior mirror has a broken or missing outer housing, with internal components exposed. The lower side molding/trim is also missing along the left front door and rocker-panel area, leaving mounting holes and fastener locations visible. No other damage findings were provided. Mechanical, structural, restraint-system, electrical, and underbody condition cannot be determined from these findings. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a Limited trim, four-wheel-drive SUV built in the United States. It is equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Factory-listed safety and driver-assistance equipment includes ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, parking assistance, and a rear visibility system. NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year.
