2023 HYUNDAI TUCSON Limited

The auction record lists the vehicle as **“CERT OF TITLE – SALVAGE”** with **“FRONT END”** as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the auction’s unverified “FRONT END” code; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing, exposing the internal mounting components and wiring. The front bumper cover is detached from the body at the front-left corner, leaving a substantial gap and exposing components beside the grille. The front-left fender is also absent, with the wheel-well area, inner metal panel, wiring, and lamp-mounting area visible. In addition, the front-left door has an irregular crease and localized deformation along its leading edge near the missing fender. The extent of the visible damage indicates that the front-left corner and adjacent body areas will require comprehensive repair and replacement work. The condition of hidden structural components, suspension, steering, cooling systems, electrical systems, and safety equipment cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be verified through a physical inspection. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model 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** applies to certain Tucson vehicles equipped with an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness; incorrectly installed wiring may allow moisture intrusion, potentially causing trailer-light failure or an electrical short. Recall completion and applicability should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
