2020 HYUNDAI TUCSON SE

The vehicle is listed with a Salvage Certificate of Title, with the auction’s primary damage classification recorded as “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that visible damage at the left rear bumper and adjacent rear quarter area supports the stated rear-end classification. The salvage-title status cannot be verified from exterior photographs. The principal damage is concentrated at the left rear corner. The rear bumper cover is severely deformed, torn, and pulled away from the body, with uneven gaps, missing or displaced material, exposed dark underlying material, and extensive scuffing and paint transfer. Damage extends around the wheel-opening area and onto the adjacent lower rear quarter panel, where broad gray abrasion and paint transfer are visible. The condition of internal bumper reinforcement, mounting points, rear body structure, sensors, lighting, and other components cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be checked during a physical inspection. There is also minor cosmetic damage at the front-left bumper corner, consisting of several dark scuff marks and areas of paint transfer below and behind the left headlamp. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2020 Hyundai Tucson SE SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. NHTSA recall campaign 20V543000 applies to certain 2019–2021 Hyundai 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 recall remedy includes replacement of the HECU fuse and, for 2019–2021 models, an electronic stability control software update, performed free of charge by Hyundai. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer. Until the repair is confirmed complete, Hyundai advised parking the vehicle outdoors and away from structures.
