2026 HYUNDAI TUCSON SE

The auction record identifies this 2026 Hyundai Tucson as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the FRONT END classification, while the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has extensive front-end damage. The hood has multiple creases and deformation across the front and left-central areas, including a pronounced central crease and an uneven raised gap near the front-right headlamp area. The complete front bumper assembly, front fascia, lower fascia, lower grille, and center grille are missing. Both headlamp assemblies are absent, leaving open mounting cavities at the front corners. The radiator, cooling stack, reinforcement, wiring, ducts, brackets, mounting points, and other internal components are exposed, with some pieces appearing loose or unsupported. The removed bumper assembly is shown separately on the ground with separated fascia sections and exposed internal mounting structures. Additional exterior trim is missing around the front-right corner and wheel-arch area. Multiple warning indicators are illuminated on the instrument cluster, including an engine warning light, warning triangle, restraint-related indicators, and a driver-assistance warning symbol. The photographs do not establish the cause of these warnings or the operating condition of the engine, restraint systems, sensors, wiring, cooling system, or driver-assistance systems. A complete mechanical, electrical, structural, and safety-system inspection will be required before repair or road use. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2026 Hyundai Tucson SE SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline GDI Theta III engine, and an estimated 187 horsepower. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. The supplied NHTSA recall information lists five campaigns for applicable 2026 Tucson vehicles. These involve possible engine connecting-rod bolt tightening issues, instrument-cluster display software failures, potentially misassembled side-impact sensors, premature activation of the forward-collision-avoidance system, and an additional instrument-cluster display software issue. The listed remedies include engine replacement, software updates, and inspection or replacement of impact sensors, as applicable. Recall completion for this individual vehicle should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
