2020 HYUNDAI TUCSON SE

The auction lists the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible damage clearly supports this classification. The auction condition is listed as CERTIFICATE OF TITLE; however, certificate-of-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The 2020 Hyundai Tucson has extensive collision damage concentrated at the front-right corner. The front bumper cover is severely torn, broken, and partly missing, with detached pieces and internal components exposed. The front-right headlamp assembly is missing, and the grille, grille surround, and adjacent trim are broken, cracked, displaced, or incomplete. The front fender around the wheel opening is absent or extensively damaged, exposing the inner wheel-well and mounting areas. A lower front splash panel is detached and hanging beneath the bumper. The hood has moderate deformation along its front edge and corner, with an uneven gap above the damaged front bodywork. There is also an irregular area of paint loss on the front-center portion of the hood. Exposed brackets, wiring, and other front-end components are visible through the missing exterior panels. Additional missing exterior trim and an open, irregular panel area are present near the front corner and wheel. The provided findings document substantial exterior collision damage but do not establish the condition of the underlying front structure, cooling system, suspension, steering, braking components, wiring, safety systems, or drivetrain. A thorough physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including checking alignment, hidden structural damage, electrical operation, and the extent of required repairs.

The listed remedy includes replacement of the HECU fuse and an electronic stability control software update, performed free of charge. The repair status for this particular vehicle should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
