2024 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL

This 2024 Hyundai Tucson is listed with a salvage vehicle title and an auction primary-damage designation of FRONT END. The provided photo-based assessment reports that the visible front-end damage supports this classification; however, the salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from photographs. The exterior mirror on the visible front side is missing its painted outer cover, leaving internal components exposed. The hood is raised and uneven along the front edge, with pronounced and irregular gaps above the grille, headlamp area, and adjacent fender seam. The front grille has multiple fractured, displaced, and missing bars and surrounding plastic sections. The front bumper cover is severely cracked and separated across the center and both corners, while a long section of lower bumper trim is detached and hanging outward. Broken and displaced plastic also exposes part of the front impact-absorbing area behind the grille and upper bumper. The extent of the visible damage warrants a thorough inspection of the underlying structure, cooling and lighting systems, sensors, wiring, and restraint systems before repair or purchase. The VIN decodes as a 2024 Hyundai Tucson SEL SUV with front-wheel drive/4x2, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an engine output listed at approximately 187.6 hp. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in Ulsan, South Korea. Factory-listed equipment includes ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and curtain and side airbags for the first and second rows. The transmission type was not provided in the VIN data. NHTSA records list the following recalls for this make, model, and year: - Recall 23V556000: The tire and loading information label may incorrectly provide spare-tire information. The label should be inspected and replaced if necessary. - Recall 23V526000: An Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller may overheat, creating a potential fire risk. The vehicle should be parked outdoors and away from structures until the repair is completed, and the controller should be inspected and replaced as necessary. - Recall 24V412000: A circuit-board fault in the electric power-steering assembly may cause a loss of steering assist. The electric power-steering pack should be replaced. - Recall 25V893000: On vehicles equipped with the optional Mobis tow-hitch wiring harness, incorrect installation may allow water intrusion, potentially causing trailer-light failure or an electrical short. The applicable harness should be removed and capped as specified by Hyundai. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase, particularly for the steering and oil-pump recalls.
