2019 HYUNDAI TUCSON SE

The auction records list the vehicle as having a salvage title, with FRONT END recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage—including the deformed hood, broken grille, missing bumper sections, and deployed driver airbag—supports the stated FRONT END classification. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The front bumper fascia is extensively missing on both sides, exposing internal components, wiring, and mounting parts. A black lower front panel is hanging beneath the bumper. The hood has a large dent and multiple sharp creases along its front edge, while the grille and surrounding trim are broken and displaced. An irregular gap is visible between the left front fender and the front door. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is deployed. The VIN decodes as a 2019 Hyundai Tucson SE, a 4x2 SUV equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea. NHTSA recall 20V543000 applies to certain 2019–2021 Tucson vehicles. The HECU may corrode internally and cause an electrical short, potentially resulting in an engine-compartment fire. The recall remedy includes replacement of the HECU fuse and an ESC software update for 2019–2021 models. Confirmation that this vehicle’s recall repair has been completed should be obtained from Hyundai or an authorized dealer. The visible damage indicates that substantial front-end body and restraint-system repairs will be required. A complete inspection should also verify the condition of concealed structural, mechanical, electrical, cooling, braking, and airbag components before purchase.
