2023 HYUNDAI TUCSON Limited

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing and damaged front fascia components support this primary-damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper fascia and large sections of the front-center fascia are missing, leaving open cavities and internal mounting components exposed. The front grille assembly is also absent or broken away, exposing the radiator and other components behind the grille opening. The hood has a visible crease along its front edge, with an uneven raised gap above the front corner and adjacent fender seam. The headlamp assembly is missing from the image-left front corner, leaving its internal cavity exposed. A section of the front wheel-arch molding is missing, with mounting holes and fasteners visible around the arch. The instrument cluster displays a “Check headlight LED” message and a lighting warning symbol. The cause and full extent of the lighting-system fault require diagnostic testing and physical inspection. The available findings do not establish whether structural, cooling-system, electrical, restraint-system, or mechanical components are damaged. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2023 Hyundai Tucson Limited SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 23V526000 concerns the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller, which may overheat and increase the risk of fire; the remedy involves inspection and replacement of the controller as necessary. Recall 25V893000 concerns an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness that may allow moisture into the control module, potentially causing trailer-light failure or an electrical short; the listed remedy is removal of the harness and installation of a dust cap. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before the vehicle is operated or purchased. A thorough inspection and diagnostic assessment are recommended, including examination of the front-end structure, radiator and cooling system, wiring, lighting systems, safety systems, and all components behind the missing fascia.
