2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON Limited

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” The available photo assessment reports that the visible evidence supports the side-damage classification, with substantial damage concentrated on the left front side. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from the photos. The left front fender and wheel-arch area are severely crushed, with missing exterior material and exposed internal components and wiring. The left front door has extensive sharp creasing and deformation, particularly around the front edge and upper section, along with multiple scuff marks. The upper left headlamp assembly is absent or extensively broken, and internal components are visible behind it. The left front bumper corner is torn and displaced, with a hanging section below the lamp area. The adjacent left front hood edge is also moderately creased and deformed. Detached exterior plastic components are shown separately on the ground. One wheel-arch or underbody panel is torn and fractured, while another long trim-like piece is detached; their exact installed locations cannot be confirmed from the available image. The condition indicates substantial collision damage to the left front corner and front door area. The exposed wiring and internal components, as well as the detached panels, should be checked during a physical inspection. Mechanical, structural, electrical, lighting, restraint-system, and wheel/suspension damage cannot be determined from these findings alone. The supplied recall information lists three campaigns for certain 2022 Hyundai Tucson vehicles. Recall 21V938000 concerns Integrated Central Control Unit software that could cause the headlights or taillights to become inoperative; Hyundai states that all affected vehicles have been repaired. Recall 23V038000 concerns roof moldings that may detach and calls for inspection and replacement or securing as necessary. Recall 25V893000 applies to vehicles equipped with an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness that may allow water 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 applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA, particularly for the optional trailer-hitch equipment.
