2023 HYUNDAI TUCSON Limited

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate, with “FRONT END” recorded as the auction’s primary-damage designation. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim, citing extensive damage to the left-front hood, fender, headlamp, grille, and bumper areas. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The 2023 Hyundai Tucson has severe damage concentrated at the left-front corner. The hood is substantially creased and deformed, with a raised left side and enlarged, uneven gaps extending along the left fender and grille toward the windshield. The left-front fender is crushed and sharply creased around the headlamp and wheel-arch areas. The left-front headlamp assembly is missing, leaving brackets, wiring, and other internal components exposed. The left side and lower edge of the front bumper cover are broken and displaced, with missing sections, visible gaps, and exposed components. The front grille has multiple cracked, bent, displaced, and missing slats, particularly on the left side of the Hyundai emblem. The driver airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of concealed structural, suspension, steering, cooling, electrical, or restraint-system components; these areas require a thorough physical inspection before repair or purchase decisions are made. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as 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. Listed factory safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and pedestrian automatic emergency braking. 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 is inspection and replacement of the controller as necessary. Recall 25V893000 concerns an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness that may allow moisture into its 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 should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
