2019 HYUNDAI TUCSON SE

The vehicle is a 2019 Hyundai Tucson with a salvage vehicle title. The auction lists the primary damage as REAR END. Stage 1 reports that the visible deformation and missing components at the left rear quarter panel, rear wheel-arch area, and rear bumper support this stated rear-end damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photos. The left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area show severe deformation, including multiple deep creases, crushed sections, an irregular outer panel, and exposed portions of the inner area. The left rear door has a moderate-to-large dent with sharply creased metal along its rear edge and lower section. The exterior fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the filler opening and surrounding components exposed. The left rear bumper corner has a severe break with a large missing section, torn edges, and exposed mounting or inner components. There is also a pronounced opening between the bumper area and the body. The provided findings document visible exterior collision damage only. They do not establish the condition of the suspension, wheel, wheel-arch structure, fuel system, electrical systems, airbags, or mechanical components. A complete inspection should include the rear body structure, inner quarter panel, bumper reinforcement and mounts, fuel-filler components, rear door alignment, wheel and suspension assembly, underbody, and safety systems. According to the VIN decode, this is a South Korea-built 2019 Hyundai Tucson SE sport utility vehicle with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. NHTSA recall campaign 20V543000 applies to certain 2019–2021 Hyundai Tucson vehicles. The anti-lock brake hydraulic electronic control unit 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 using the vehicle identification number before purchase.
