2020 HYUNDAI TUCSON SE

The vehicle is listed with a “CERT OF TITLE–SALVAGE” condition and “FRONT END” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. The visible front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END primary-damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. Significant collision damage is concentrated on the front-left side. A large section of the front-left fender is missing, exposing the wheel-arch area and internal components. The front-left headlamp assembly is broken and incomplete, while the front-left bumper corner and left side of the front fascia are torn, displaced, and missing sections. The wheel-arch trim and adjacent covers are also absent. The left-front portion of the hood is creased and deformed, with scraped paint along its front-left edge. Exposed wiring and other components are visible at the front-left edge of the engine bay through the damaged body panels. The VIN identifies this as a 2020 Hyundai Tucson SE SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. An NHTSA safety recall applies to certain 2019–2021 Tucson vehicles under campaign 20V543000. The recall concerns possible internal corrosion of the anti-lock brake hydraulic electronic control unit, which may cause an electrical short and increase the risk of an engine-compartment fire. The listed remedy includes replacement of the HECU fuse and an electronic stability-control software update. Recall-completion status for this vehicle should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase. A thorough inspection and repair assessment should also cover the exposed wiring, front lighting, cooling and other front-end components, structural areas, steering and suspension, braking systems, and restraint-system components.
