2020 HYUNDAI TUCSON SE

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, with FRONT END recorded as the auction’s primary-damage claim. Based on the provided photo assessment, the visible extensive front-end crushing, missing bumper components, damaged lighting, and deformed front structure support that stated primary-damage claim. The salvage-title status itself cannot be verified from photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is extensively crushed, with sharp creasing, deep deformation, and folded metal across the front and center sections. The front bumper cover is missing, while the detached bumper assembly is shown separately with broken grille sections and damaged mounting areas. The front grille, lower fascia, and adjacent plastic components are broken, separated, or missing. The front left headlamp assembly is missing, exposing internal components and mounting points. The front right headlamp is displaced from its normal position, with surrounding trim separated and additional mounting areas exposed. The leading edge of the front left fender is sharply folded around the headlamp and wheel-arch area. Structural front-end components also show severe visible deformation. The upper front crossmember and radiator-support area are bent, folded, and displaced, while the lower front reinforcement and adjacent metal components are visibly bent and misaligned. Further inspection is required to determine the condition of components behind the visible damage, including the cooling system, wiring, restraints, suspension, frame or unibody mounting points, and other mechanical systems. Inside the cabin, the outer front bolster of the driver’s seat has a minor tear with light-colored underlying material exposed. A safety recall applies to 2019–2021 Hyundai Tucson vehicles under campaign 20V543000. The anti-lock brake hydraulic electronic control unit may corrode internally and cause an electrical short, potentially resulting in an engine-compartment fire. The remedy includes replacement of the HECU fuse and, for 2019–2021 vehicles, an electronic stability control software update. Recall completion should be confirmed with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is operated.
