2023 HYUNDAI TUCSON Limited

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible rear-corner damage supports the auction’s unverified rear-end damage claim; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The left rear corner has severe collision damage. The outer tail lamp assembly is missing, leaving wiring and internal mounting areas exposed. The left rear quarter panel around the lamp opening and wheel arch is heavily creased and deformed. The left rear bumper corner is broken and displaced, with a large section separated from the vehicle and internal areas exposed. The lower rear bumper trim is detached and hanging, while the bumper edge and adjacent trim have additional breaks, gaps, and displaced pieces. Repairs are likely to require replacement of the missing lamp assembly, repair or replacement of the affected quarter-panel section and bumper components, restoration of mounting points and trim, and inspection of the exposed wiring and surrounding structure. A thorough physical inspection should also confirm whether any damage extends beyond the visible exterior areas. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for the 2023 Hyundai Tucson. Recall 23V526000 concerns the electronic controller for the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump assembly, which may overheat and increase the risk of fire; the stated 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 stated 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.
