2023 HYUNDAI TUCSON Limited

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. Visible damage to the left-front fender and left-front door supports the auction’s side-damage claim. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available exterior photographs. The left-front fender and door have broad dents, creases, scraping, missing white finish, and darker transfer marks. The lower side trim or rocker molding is missing along the damaged section, leaving mounting holes and the underlying lower edge exposed. White curtain-airbag fabric is visibly hanging from both the left-front roof-side/A-pillar area and the left-rear passenger-compartment roof-side area, indicating deployment of the left-side curtain airbags. Replacement of the deployed airbags and inspection of the related restraint, roof-side, pillar, and body structures will be required. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this vehicle model and year. Recall 23V526000 concerns the electronic controller for the Idle Stop & Go electric oil pump, which may overheat and increase the risk of fire; the remedy is inspection and replacement of the controller as necessary. Recall 25V893000 applies to vehicles equipped with an optional Mobis trailer-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. Recall completion status for this vehicle was not provided and should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
