2023 HYUNDAI TUCSON Limited

The vehicle is listed with a salvage vehicle title, and the auction’s primary-damage classification is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports this classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The most significant damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The front-left portion of the hood has multiple pronounced creases and dents, including deformation along the front edge. The left section of the front bumper cover is missing, exposing internal components and wiring, while a detached bumper section is hanging beside the vehicle. The left side of the grille is broken and displaced, with open areas and exposed components behind it. The left front lighting assembly is incomplete, with the lamp area open and internal components visible. Loose lighting-related parts are visible below the damaged corner. The left front fender and wheel-arch area are severely distorted, and the wheel-well liner is exposed and separated from the surrounding body panel. The lower front bumper and air-intake trim also contain broken or displaced sections, including a loose panel hanging near the damaged corner. The driver airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel. The instrument cluster displays a “Check turn signal” message, an airbag warning indicator, and an engine-shaped warning indicator. These warnings and the exposed wiring and components indicate that further electrical, restraint-system, and mechanical inspection will be required before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, suspension, steering, or structural components. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for the 2023 Hyundai Tucson. 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, if necessary, replacement of the controller. 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 listed remedy is removal of the harness and installation of a dust cap. Recall completion and applicability to this specific vehicle should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA.
