2024 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title, with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. The visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage code. However, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated at the front. The hood is extensively crushed, folded, and sharply creased, while the front bumper, grille, and fascia are missing or detached. The front-left fender and bumper corner are also absent or torn away, leaving internal components exposed. The radiator and condenser cooling stacks are visibly bent and compressed, with displaced surrounding brackets and components. Several lower front panels, trim pieces, and the undertray are detached or lying below the vehicle. Additional exterior damage includes dents and creases with scuffed paint on the left front door, a missing left side-mirror housing, and abrasion to the left rocker trim. The windshield has multiple cracks and radiating fracture lines extending across the glass. The collision also affected the interior and restraint systems. The driver airbag, front passenger/side airbag components, and a curtain-type airbag along the passenger compartment are deployed. Loose covered components and debris are present in both the front passenger area and rear seating area. Interior trim around the front cabin and center console is detached, displaced, and visibly damaged. The instrument cluster displays multiple warning indicators, including ABS, brake, tire-pressure, airbag, battery, engine, steering, and parking-brake warnings. The photographs do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s frame or unibody structure, suspension, steering, drivetrain, cooling-system functionality, electrical systems, or other components hidden behind the visible damage. A comprehensive structural, mechanical, electrical, and restraint-system inspection will be required before estimating the full repair scope. NHTSA recall records provided for the 2024 Hyundai Tucson include a tire and loading information-label issue (23V556000), an Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller issue that may increase fire risk (23V526000), and a motor-driven power-steering issue that may result in loss of steering assist (24V412000). A further recall (25V893000) applies to certain vehicles equipped with an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness and concerns water intrusion, trailer-light failure, and possible electrical shorting. Recall completion and applicability should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before the vehicle is operated.
