2021 HYUNDAI TUCSON SE

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” and identifies the primary damage as “STRIPPED.” Stage 1 reports that the certificate-of-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos, while the visible evidence supports the “STRIPPED” description because numerous exterior panels, lighting assemblies, bumpers, liftgate components, and interior trim pieces are absent or removed. The 2021 Hyundai Tucson has severe missing components at both ends. At the front, the bumper cover, grille, both headlamp assemblies, and front fender assemblies are absent or removed, leaving the radiator and front-end mounting components exposed. At the rear, the liftgate, bumper cover, and both rear lamp assemblies are missing. The left and right rear quarter-panel areas around the tail-lamp openings show visible creasing and irregular deformation. Both visible side doors are absent, leaving the door openings and interior exposed. Large sections of the rear passenger-compartment and cargo-area trim are also missing, with loose parts stored inside the vehicle. The hood has extensive light-colored scuffing and areas of paint abrasion. Overall, the vehicle appears substantially stripped and requires extensive replacement of body, lighting, exterior, and interior components. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, electrical systems, suspension, or other mechanical and safety systems. According to the VIN decode, this is a South Korea-built 2021 Hyundai Tucson SE SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. Listed factory safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, ABS, and a rear visibility system; the condition or operability of these systems cannot be determined from the damage findings. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model year: campaign 20V543000, concerning possible internal corrosion of the ABS/traction-control electronic control unit, which could cause an electrical short and an engine-compartment fire. The stated remedy is replacement of the HECU fuse and an ESC software update, performed free of charge. The supplied information does not confirm whether this recall repair has been completed.
