2025 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL

The auction record identifies this vehicle as a 2025 Hyundai Tucson with a salvage certificate of title and lists the primary damage as FRONT END. The visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification: the hood is severely buckled with multiple large creases and an irregular opening along its front edge. The front bumper cover, grille, and associated fascia are missing, with broken bumper components lying beside the vehicle. Both front corners have exposed or displaced components, broken trim, and missing mounting pieces. Wiring and displaced plastic are visible near the left headlamp area, and the leading edge of the left front fender is deformed and separated from the adjacent panels. The front cooling stack is also severely damaged. The visible radiator and condenser fins are crushed and bent, while the lower front support and surrounding plastic structures are displaced, broken, or separated from their normal positions. The extent of the visible damage indicates that inspection of the underlying front structure, cooling system, lighting, wiring, driver-assistance sensors, and mechanical components will be necessary before repair or road use can be evaluated. Both the roof-side curtain airbag and the driver steering-wheel airbag are visibly deployed. Their related restraint-system components, sensors, wiring, and control modules should be professionally inspected and replaced as required. Light scuffing and surface scratches are present on the visible side doors and rear quarter panel. The VIN decodes as a 2025 Hyundai Tucson SEL SUV, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. It is listed with a 2.5-liter gasoline GDI Theta III engine and 4x2 drive. The factory data also lists standard front and side/curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and other driver-assistance systems. The operational condition of these systems cannot be determined from the supplied findings. Official recalls listed for this 2025 Tucson include a potentially missing glove-box airbag warning label; improperly routed console-extension wiring that may allow shifting out of Park without applying the brake; connecting-rod bolts that may be improperly tightened and could cause engine damage or loss of drive power; possible improper installation of the side-curtain airbags; front-camera software that may cause premature automatic braking; and instrument-cluster software that may cause the display to fail. Recall repair status should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase, particularly in view of the deployed airbags and extensive front-end damage. The salvage certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from the supplied visual findings.
