2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON SE

The vehicle is a 2022 Hyundai Tucson SE, VIN 5NMJACAE7NH153995. Factory data identifies it as a four-wheel-drive SUV with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. The auction record lists a salvage title and identifies hail as the primary damage. However, the Stage 1 photo assessment states that the visible evidence does not support the hail-damage claim: the roof, hood, and liftgate appear largely smooth, without a dense pattern of small shallow dents. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the available photos. No specific damage findings were provided in the supplied inspection data. Official recall records list three campaigns for this model and year. Recall 21V938000 concerns incompatible Integrated Central Control Unit software that could cause the headlights or taillights to become inoperative; the listed remedy was a free software update, and Hyundai reported that all affected vehicles had been repaired. Recall 23V038000 concerns roof moldings that may detach; the remedy is inspection and, if necessary, replacement or securing of the moldings. Recall 25V893000 applies to vehicles equipped with an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness, which may allow moisture into the control module and cause trailer-light failure or an electrical short. The listed remedy is removal of the harness and installation of a dust cap. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
