2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL Convenience Pkg

This 2022 Hyundai Tucson is listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s primary damage designation is HAIL. However, the provided photo review found that this claim is not fully supported by the visible evidence: several small shallow dents are clearly visible on the hood, but the roof and rear hatch appear largely smooth, and the side-panel deformations are not limited to upward-facing surfaces. The photos do not show the dense, predominantly horizontal-panel dent pattern normally expected for a clearly supported hail claim. The hood has several minor shallow dents, with the paint appearing intact and no clearly visible cracking or chipping. Additional shallow depressions are visible near the upper front-fender edges. Moderate body-panel deformation is present on the visible-side rear door, below the window line and around the door-handle area, along with an irregular deformation on the rear quarter panel around the fuel-filler area and upper wheel arch. The interior shows light scuffing and creasing on the outer bolster of the front seat, without a visible tear or exposed underlying material. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2022 Hyundai Tucson SUV with front-wheel drive (4x2), a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States and is identified as the SEL Convenience Package trim. NHTSA recall records list three campaigns for this model and year. Recall 21V938000 concerns software in the Integrated Central Control Unit that could cause the headlights or taillights to become inoperative; the listed remedy was a free software update, and Hyundai stated that all affected vehicles had been repaired. Recall 23V038000 concerns roof moldings that may detach; inspection and replacement or securing of the moldings were provided free of charge. Recall 25V893000 applies to vehicles equipped with an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness, which may allow water into the control module and cause trailer-light failure or an electrical short. The listed remedy is removal of the harness and installation of a dust cap. Recall completion and equipment applicability should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
