2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL Convenience Pkg

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The front-left corner has sustained severe collision damage. The front-left fender is extensively crushed and folded, with sections missing or displaced and inner wheel-well components exposed. The hood has multiple pronounced creases and raised deformed areas, and its front edge is displaced. The front bumper cover is cracked, torn, and separated, with major openings and missing sections at the left corner. The front-left headlamp is missing or not intact, exposing internal components, and the adjacent lower lighting housing is broken. The front grille and center fascia have multiple broken, cracked, displaced, or missing sections. Finned cooling components are exposed through the damaged fascia, while the lower front support and surrounding plastic components are fractured, displaced, and deformed. Visible radiator-support and bumper-mount bracketry is also broken or separated. The windshield has extensive branching cracks across the glass. The front-left wheel-arch trim is detached and missing from its normal position. The VIN decodes as a 2022 Hyundai Tucson SEL Convenience Package, a gasoline SUV manufactured in the United States. It is equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder GDI Theta III engine, automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive. NHTSA records identify the following recalls for this model and year: campaign 21V938000 for potentially incompatible Integrated Central Control Unit software that could cause the headlights or taillights to become inoperative; campaign 23V038000 concerning roof moldings that may detach; and campaign 25V893000 concerning an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness that may allow moisture into the control module, potentially causing trailer-light failure or an electrical short. Recall completion and applicability to this vehicle should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer. A complete structural, mechanical, cooling-system, lighting, restraint-system, wheel-and-suspension, electrical, and water-intrusion inspection is recommended before purchase. The windshield and all front-end components will require repair or replacement, and the extent of damage behind the visible exterior panels cannot be determined from these findings alone.
