2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL Convenience

The vehicle is a 2022 Hyundai Tucson with an auction designation of “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” and a stated primary damage classification of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible front-right collision damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photos. The front-right hood edge is moderately creased and deformed, with the edge raised above the adjacent fender and headlamp area. The front-right fender is severely crushed and heavily creased above and behind the wheel, with scraped and disturbed white paint. The front-right bumper corner has multiple cracks and tears, an open corner gap, and a separated lower edge. A lamp or trim assembly is not visible in the open cavity at the front-right lower bumper. The front-right wheel-arch molding is incomplete and detached from the surrounding body panel, leaving its mounting points exposed. The instrument display shows the message “Check Blind-Spot Safety system,” along with illuminated ABS, EPB, airbag, and tire-pressure-related warning indicators. The cause and extent of these warnings require diagnostic testing and physical inspection. According to the VIN decode, this is a South Korea-built 2022 Hyundai Tucson SEL Convenience SUV with four-wheel drive, a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline/electric hybrid powertrain, four cylinders, and an automatic transmission. The decoded safety equipment includes ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rear-visibility system. NHTSA records list three recalls for this vehicle model and year: recall 21V938000 for Integrated Central Control Unit software that could affect headlight or taillight operation; recall 23V038000 for roof moldings that may detach; and recall 25V893000 concerning an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness that may allow moisture intrusion, potentially causing trailer-light failure or an electrical short. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase.
