2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, with FRONT END recorded as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated FRONT END primary-damage claim; however, the salvage-certificate title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The documented damage is concentrated at the front-left corner. The hood has multiple pronounced creases and crushed sections, with a large uneven opening along the front edge. The front-left fender is heavily crushed and torn around the headlamp and wheel-arch area, with deformed sheet metal and exposed mounting areas. The front-left bumper cover has a large missing section with torn edges and displaced red bumper material, allowing internal components to be seen. Sections of the lower bumper and corner trim are also missing, leaving additional openings and exposed components. The vehicle decodes as a 2022 Hyundai Tucson SEL SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The VIN data identifies the vehicle as manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. NHTSA recall records identify three campaigns for this model and year. Recall 21V938000 concerns potentially incompatible Integrated Central Control Unit software that could cause the headlights and/or taillights to become inoperative; Hyundai states that the remedy was a free software update. Recall 23V038000 concerns roof moldings that may detach and calls for inspection and replacement or securing as necessary. Recall 25V893000 applies to vehicles equipped with an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness; incorrectly installed wiring may allow moisture into the control module, potentially causing trailer-light failure or an electrical short. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified with Hyundai or through an authorized dealer using the VIN.
