2025 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL

This 2025 Hyundai Tucson is listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s unverified primary-damage classification is “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the front bumper and fascia, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving front-end components exposed. The front bumper cover and surrounding outer fascia are absent. The grille and front trim are also missing, as are both left and right headlamp assemblies; their mounting areas and wiring are visible. Front wheel-arch trim is missing on both sides, exposing mounting points, inner components, and wiring. The radiator and condenser area, front support components, connectors, and wiring are exposed due to the missing front-end covering. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2025 Hyundai Tucson SEL SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter gasoline GDI Theta III engine, and a U.S. production origin at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in Montgomery, Alabama. Factory safety equipment listed includes ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, and standard LED low-beam headlamps. NHTSA recall records provided for this model year include recalls concerning a potentially missing glove-box air-bag warning label (24V691000), improperly routed console wiring that may allow shifting out of Park without applying the brake (24V877000), potentially improperly tightened engine connecting-rod bolts (25V549000), side-curtain air bags that may not have been installed correctly (25V809000), front-camera software that may cause unexpected automatic braking (26V316000), and instrument-panel software that may cause the display to fail (26V400000). Recall remedy status should be verified with Hyundai or NHTSA using the vehicle identification number before purchase. The visible damage is concentrated at the front of the vehicle and appears extensive enough to require replacement of multiple exterior, lighting, trim, and potentially internal front-end components. The condition of the exposed radiator/condenser assembly, structural supports, wiring, connectors, safety systems, cooling system, and other mechanical components cannot be established from these findings alone and should be confirmed through a thorough physical inspection and diagnostic assessment.
