2019 HYUNDAI TUCSON SE

The auction records identify this 2019 Hyundai Tucson as a salvage vehicle with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage claim because the front bumper and lower grille area are cracked and displaced. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The reported front-end damage includes a jagged split and irregular opening in the lower front bumper cover, along with a displaced lower grille or air-dam section that protrudes downward and forward. The lower bumper fascia and black trim are also visibly split or projecting outward from the bumper assembly. The extent of any damage behind these components is not provided. The interior has cosmetic staining on both the rear seat cushion and lower seatback, as well as dark marks and discoloration on the front seat cushions. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2019 Hyundai Tucson SE SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea. NHTSA recall 20V543000 applies to certain 2019–2021 Hyundai Tucson vehicles.
