2025 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL

The 2025 Hyundai Tucson is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. The auction designation is an unverified record claim. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the FRONT END classification, while the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front-left side has severe collision damage. The front-left fender and associated wheel-arch trim are missing, leaving the wheel-arch area and mounting points exposed. The front bumper cover at the left corner is cracked, broken, displaced, and missing sections, with components behind it exposed. The front-left headlamp assembly is absent or incomplete, and internal mounting and wiring components are visible. Several grille slats and adjacent sections on the left side are also broken or missing. The VIN decodes as a 2025 Hyundai Tucson SEL SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter gasoline GDI Theta III engine, and a stated GVWR in the 4,001–5,000 lb class. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in Montgomery, Alabama. Factory-listed safety equipment includes ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, front and side-curtain airbags, adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system. The VIN data identifies the lower-beam headlamps as LED. NHTSA recall records provided for the 2025 Tucson include recalls concerning a potentially missing glove-box airbag warning label (24V691000), improperly routed console-extension wiring that may allow shifting out of Park without applying the brake (24V877000), potentially improperly tightened connecting-rod bolts that may cause engine damage or loss of drive power (25V549000), improperly installed side-curtain airbags (25V809000), front-camera software that may cause unexpected automatic braking (26V316000), and instrument-cluster software that may cause the display to fail (26V400000). Recall completion and applicability to this specific vehicle should be verified with Hyundai or NHTSA using the VIN. A thorough repair assessment should include the front body structure, wheel-arch and suspension mounting areas, headlamp wiring, grille and bumper supports, driver-assistance sensors and cameras, cooling components, airbag systems, and wheel alignment. The vehicle should not be considered road-ready until structural, electrical, restraint-system, and safety-system inspections and repairs have been completed.
