2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON N-Line, XRT

The auction record lists the primary damage as hail and the condition as “Certificate of Title.” Stage 1 reports that the hail claim is not supported by the visible evidence: the roof and hood appear largely smooth, without the dense small-dent distribution typically expected from hail damage. The certificate-of-title statement could not be verified from the provided photos. Visible damage includes multiple branching and impact-pattern cracks in the upper left area of the windshield, as well as a concentrated branching crack near the upper right edge. The windshield will require replacement or professional assessment. The left rear exterior door handle is missing, leaving a dark recessed opening, with scraped and chipped paint around the opening and along the adjacent door surface. The handle and surrounding finish will require repair. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2022 Hyundai Tucson SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in Ulsan, South Korea. Factory-listed safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rear-visibility system. NHTSA records show recalls affecting this model and year. Recall 21V938000 concerns incompatible Integrated Central Control Unit software that could cause the headlights or taillights to become inoperative; the stated remedy was a free software update. Recall 23V038000 concerns roof moldings that may detach; dealers were to inspect and secure or replace them as necessary. Recall 25V893000 applies to vehicles equipped with an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness; incorrectly installed wiring may allow moisture into the control module, potentially causing trailer-light failure or an electrical short. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
