2025 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL Convenience

This 2025 Hyundai Tucson is listed with a salvage certificate of title and an auction primary-damage classification of “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible severe rear-end damage supports the stated primary-damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The most significant visible damage is concentrated at the rear. The liftgate outer panel is deeply crushed and extensively deformed across the lower and center sections, including the license-plate recess. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing underlying components and attachment points. Both lower rear corners have severe damage: the lower right rear fascia is broken and missing, with loose and exposed components, while the lower left rear fascia is also broken and missing, leaving exposed components and open gaps. Additional collision damage is visible at the front. The hood has multiple dents and irregular depressions across the front and center areas, with an uneven front edge. The left lower corner of the front bumper cover is cracked and broken, with an open gap and exposed dark components. Sections of the lower front grille and adjacent center bumper trim are broken or absent. The VIN decodes as a 2025 Hyundai Tucson SEL Convenience SUV with 4x2 drive, a 2.5-liter gasoline GDI Theta III engine, and standard equipment including ABS, electronic stability 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 vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. The supplied NHTSA records list the following recalls for the 2025 Tucson: campaign 24V691000 for a potentially missing glove-box air-bag warning label; campaign 24V877000 for incorrectly routed console-extension wiring that could allow shifting out of Park without applying the brake; campaign 25V549000 concerning improperly tightened connecting-rod bolts that may cause engine damage or loss of drive power; campaign 25V809000 concerning potentially improperly installed side-curtain air bags; campaign 26V316000 concerning front-camera software that may cause premature or unexpected automatic braking; and campaign 26V400000 concerning an instrument-panel display that may fail. The applicable remedy and completion status should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase. Because of the severe rear structural-area and exterior damage, as well as the additional front-end damage, a comprehensive inspection is advisable before repair or registration. This should include the underlying rear and front components, liftgate operation, lighting, sensors, wiring, safety systems, alignment, and the completion of all applicable recall repairs.
