2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL

This 2022 Hyundai Tucson is listed by the auction with the condition designation “GRAVEMENT ACCIDENTE (P)” (severely damaged), and the primary damage is recorded as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification and is consistent with the severe-accident title claim, based on substantial damage to the front bumper, grille, fascia, fender, door, and rocker area. The most significant damage is concentrated at the front corner. A large section of the front bumper cover is missing, exposing internal components and body panels. The remaining bumper edges are broken and irregular, while the front grille and lower fascia have broken or displaced sections with open gaps. The front wheel-arch trim is missing, and the wheel-well area is exposed. The front fender is severely crushed and creased above and behind the headlamp, with torn paint and irregular edges around the wheel arch. The front door has a broad dent and crease extending from its leading edge toward the centre of the panel, along with dark abrasion marks. The rocker trim beneath the front door is absent or incomplete, leaving mounting holes exposed and the lower edge uneven. A minor white surface scuff is also visible on the black lower rear bumper near the wheel arch. According to the VIN decode, this is a Tucson SEL SUV built in South Korea with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and front and rear automatic emergency braking. These systems and their associated sensors should be checked carefully after the collision. NHTSA records show the following recalls for this model and year: recall 21V938000 concerns incompatible Integrated Central Control Unit software that could cause the headlights or taillights to become inoperative; the stated remedy was a free software update. Recall 23V038000 concerns roof moldings that may detach; dealers were to inspect and replace or secure them as necessary. 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 stated remedy is removal of the harness and installation of a dust cap. Recall completion and applicability to this vehicle should be confirmed with Hyundai or an authorised dealer.
