2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL Convenience Pkg

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate, and the auction identifies the primary damage as “FRONT END.” However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support this stated primary-damage claim: the major visible damage is concentrated on the left side and rear, while the front fascia appears largely intact. The left front fender and wheel-arch area are severely crushed and deformed, with sections of the outer panel or attached trim missing and inner components exposed. The left front door has deep, irregular deformation and multiple creases extending from the front edge through the lower and middle sections. The left rocker panel and lower sill are also severely crushed and heavily creased, with missing lower trim, exposed underlying areas, and visible mounting holes. The left front wheel-arch molding is displaced or missing in sections. Additional scraping, paint transfer, and deformation are present along the lower left front door and adjacent side structure. The rear damage is substantial. The rear liftgate window glass is completely missing, with fragmented glass remaining around the perimeter. The liftgate itself is severely crushed and folded across the left side and center, with creasing, paint loss, and exposed underlying material. The left rear quarter panel beside the liftgate opening is also severely crushed and sharply creased, with torn and missing exterior finish. Rear liftgate trim and the area near the left rear lamp show displacement, broken edges, exposed mounting points, and missing exterior pieces. The VIN decodes as a 2022 Hyundai Tucson Sport Utility Vehicle with four-wheel drive, 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 with the SEL Convenience Package trim. NHTSA records list recalls for this model and year involving ICU software that could affect the headlights or taillights, roof moldings that may detach, and, for vehicles equipped with the optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness, wiring that may allow moisture intrusion and cause trailer-light failure or an electrical short circuit. Recall completion and equipment applicability should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase.
