2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s stated primary damage is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front bumper, grille, headlamp, fender, and airbag damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be verified from the photos. The vehicle has severe front-end collision damage. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, exposing the radiator, condenser, cooling components, and other internal bumper-area parts. One headlamp assembly is displaced and hanging below its normal position, while the opposite headlamp assembly is missing entirely. The front fender and the metal around the adjacent headlamp opening are sharply crushed and deformed. A large bumper-related component is detached and lying beside the front wheel. Both the driver and front passenger airbags are deployed. The windshield has multiple branching cracks in its upper section. Repairs will likely require replacement of major exterior and lighting components, inspection of the exposed cooling and front-end structures, replacement of deployed restraint-system components, and verification of related wiring, sensors, and other collision systems. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, drivetrain, suspension, steering, or underlying structural components. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle 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. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. NHTSA records list recalls for this vehicle model and year involving ICU software that may affect headlight or taillight operation, detachable roof moldings, and, on vehicles equipped with the optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness, possible water intrusion that could cause trailer-light failure or an electrical short circuit. Recall completion and applicability to this specific vehicle should be confirmed with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase.
