2019 HYUNDAI TUCSON SE

The 2019 Hyundai Tucson is recorded as a salvage vehicle with “FRONT END” listed as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification through extensive front-end component removal and damage; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has severe damage. The hood has multiple pronounced creases, extensive abrasion, and displaced edges above the headlights. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, exposing the front reinforcement, radiator area, wiring, brackets, and other internal components. The image-right headlamp has a broken or missing outer lens with internal components exposed, while the image-left headlamp assembly is absent. Front-corner trim, lower fascia pieces, and portions of the wheel-arch liner are also missing, leaving wiring, brackets, and structural-looking components visible. Additional lower front plastic panels, grille-support pieces, and engine-bay covers are broken or absent. Detached bumper, grille, trim, bracket, and lighting-related parts are reported on the ground. The extent of the visible front-end damage indicates that substantial replacement and inspection work will be required. The available findings do not establish the condition of hidden structural components, the cooling system, wiring, restraint systems, engine, transmission, or suspension. Minor cosmetic issues include light scuffing and discoloration on the lower rear bumper and passenger-side rear corner. Dark stain-like marks are visible on the front seat upholstery, particularly the passenger-seat cushion and center seating surfaces, with lighter discoloration also present on the rear seats. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2019 Hyundai Tucson SUV with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. NHTSA recall 20V543000 applies to certain 2019–2021 Tucson vehicles. The anti-lock brake hydraulic electronic control unit (HECU) may corrode internally and cause an electrical short, potentially resulting in an engine-compartment fire. The listed remedy includes replacement of the HECU fuse and an electronic stability-control software update. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase and operation.
