2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL Premium Pkg

This 2022 Hyundai Tucson is listed with a Certificate of Salvage and the auction’s primary damage classification is “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible photographs show localized left-side scuffing and a missing left-front lower lamp, so the “SIDE” classification is partially supported; however, no major side deformation is clearly visible. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage certificate cannot be confirmed from exterior and interior photographs alone. The left-front lower lamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity in the bumper with internal components and wiring exposed. Light-colored scuffing and surface abrasions are present on the lower sections of the left front and rear doors. Additional light scuff marks are visible on the painted left-front bumper area around the missing lamp opening. The missing lamp assembly and exposed wiring should be repaired and inspected before the vehicle is operated. The instrument display shows the message, “Check Blind-Spot Safety system.” This indicates a warning related to the blind-spot safety system and requires diagnostic testing. Its connection to the visible exterior damage cannot be established from the provided findings. The VIN decodes as a 2022 Hyundai Tucson SUV with front-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The decoded trim is listed as SEL Premium Pkg. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. NHTSA recall records identify three campaigns for this vehicle: recall 21V938000 concerns incompatible Integrated Central Control Unit software that could cause the headlights and/or taillights to become inoperative; recall 23V038000 concerns roof moldings that may detach; and recall 25V893000 concerns an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness that may allow moisture into the control module, potentially causing trailer-light failure or an electrical short. The applicable recall repairs should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase.
