2020 HYUNDAI TUCSON SE

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies “FRONT END” as the primary damage. The visible front-end damage supports the auction’s unverified front-end damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover, grille, and multiple fascia components are missing, exposing the radiator/condenser area, lower reinforcement, wiring, brackets, and other front-end components. One headlamp assembly is also absent, leaving an open cavity with exposed brackets and wiring. The front fender is deformed near the leading edge and wheel arch, and the black wheel-arch molding is missing. The hood has severe crushing and creasing at the front center and along the leading edge. A side-curtain airbag is visibly deployed and hanging from the upper roof area near the rear passenger compartment. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a 2020 Hyundai Tucson SE, a gasoline-powered SUV with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drivetrain. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. NHTSA recall 20V543000 applies to certain 2019–2021 Hyundai Tucson vehicles. The recall concerns possible internal corrosion of the ABS/HECU control unit, which may cause an electrical short and increase the risk of an engine-compartment fire. The remedy includes replacing the HECU fuse and updating the electronic stability control software. The repair status for this vehicle is not provided and should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
