2025 HYUNDAI TUCSON SE

This 2025 Hyundai Tucson is listed with a salvage title. The auction’s primary damage designation is hail. However, Stage 1’s photo review found that the hail claim is not supported by the visible evidence: the hood, roof, and rear hatch appeared largely smooth, without the concentrated pattern of numerous shallow dents typically expected from hail damage. The documented interior damage consists of a moderate, localized tear in the black upholstery on the left rear seat cushion. The tear has frayed edges, with light-colored material visible beneath. NHTSA recall records list several campaigns for 2025 Tucson vehicles. These include a potentially missing glove-box air-bag warning label (24V691), improperly routed console-extension wiring that could allow the transmission to shift out of Park without the brake applied (24V877), improperly tightened engine connecting-rod bolts (25V549), potentially incorrectly installed side-curtain air bags (25V809), front-camera software that may cause unexpected automatic braking (26V316), and instrument-cluster software that may cause the display to fail (26V400). Recall repairs are described as free of charge, but completion status for this vehicle should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
