2025 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL

The auction record identifies this 2025 Hyundai Tucson as having a salvage title, with “rear end” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage classification because the rear bumper assembly is displaced, partially detached, and missing or separated in sections. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The main visible damage affects the full-width lower rear bumper. The bumper cover is separated from the body at the right rear corner and lower edge, with wide gaps, exposed underlying components, and the lower section extending outward and downward. The left rear and lower rear center areas are also displaced, with exposed mounting points and a black bumper-related component hanging below the left corner. Multiple lower bumper sections appear missing or detached. A narrow, light-colored scrape or paint-transfer mark is visible on the left lower liftgate area below the Tucson badge. The vehicle decodes as a 2025 Hyundai Tucson SEL sport utility vehicle with four-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.5-liter GDI Theta III engine, and standard equipment including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. The VIN indicates manufacture by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. The available recall records list several campaigns for certain 2025 Tucson vehicles. These include a potentially missing glove-box air-bag warning label (24V691000), improperly routed console-extension wiring that could allow shifting out of Park without the brake applied (24V877000), connecting-rod bolts that may cause engine damage or loss of drive power (25V549000), improperly installed side-curtain air bags (25V809000), front-camera software that may cause unexpected automatic braking (26V316000), and instrument-panel software that may cause the display to fail (26V400000). Recall completion and applicability to this specific VIN should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer. A physical inspection is recommended to assess the bumper reinforcement, mounting hardware, parking and safety sensors, adjacent body structure, exhaust area, liftgate alignment, and any components hidden behind the displaced or missing bumper sections.
