2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON N-Line, XRT

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE, with SIDE recorded as the primary damage. The photo-based assessment found that the visible right-side damage supports the SIDE classification; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The vehicle is a 2022 Hyundai Tucson SUV, VIN KM8JF3AE2NU095588. NHTSA decoding identifies a gasoline-powered 2.5-litre, four-cylinder GDI Theta III engine, automatic transmission, and 4x2 drivetrain. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in Ulsan, South Korea. The right front door outer panel has a pronounced irregular dent with multiple creases across the lower and middle sections. The rocker-panel molding below the front and rear doors on the right side is missing, exposing a long metal mounting strip with multiple fastener openings. A red airbag warning symbol is illuminated on the instrument cluster. The available image does not establish the cause of this warning, so the airbag and restraint systems require diagnostic inspection before the vehicle is considered roadworthy. The recall records provided list three campaigns for this model and year: - Recall 21V938000 concerns software in the Integrated Central Control Unit that could cause the headlights and/or taillights to become inoperative. The listed remedy is a free software update. - Recall 23V038000 concerns roof moldings that may detach. The listed remedy is inspection and replacement or securing of the moldings 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 listed remedy is removal of the wiring harness and installation of a dust cap. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or through the official NHTSA recall lookup using the vehicle identification number. A physical inspection should also assess the door, rocker-panel mounting area, airbag system, and any related structural or electrical components.
