2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL w/Premium pkg

This 2022 Hyundai Tucson is listed with an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this damage code. The auction also lists the vehicle as PERMIT SALVAGE; however, Stage 1 states that the salvage title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The documented damage is concentrated at the front of the vehicle. The front bumper cover and main front grille are missing, exposing the cooling components and other internal front-end parts. The lower front fascia and grille sections are detached and hanging outward, with multiple broken plastic pieces. Additional front-end components, including a large grille or bumper assembly, lower trim, wheel-well liner pieces, a lamp assembly, and other plastic parts, are separated from the vehicle and lying on the ground. The front left headlamp surround and its mounting area are broken or missing, with internal components and wiring exposed beside the lamp. Part of the front left wheel-arch molding is missing, exposing blue mounting clips. The front left wheel-well and lower front-end liner are also detached. These findings indicate substantial collision damage to the front fascia and associated trim and mounting components. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of the cooling system, lighting operation, sensors, structural members, suspension, steering, drivetrain, or other mechanical and electrical systems. A complete physical inspection and diagnostic assessment will be required before repair or purchase decisions are made. The VIN decodes as a South Korea-built 2022 Hyundai Tucson SUV with 4WD, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and the SEL with Premium Package trim. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rear-visibility system. Damage to front-mounted safety or driver-assistance components should be specifically inspected and recalibrated as required. NHTSA records list three recalls for this model year. Recall 21V938000 concerns incompatible Integrated Central Control Unit software that could cause the headlights or taillights to become inoperative; the stated remedy is a free software update. Recall 23V038000 concerns roof moldings that may detach; the stated remedy is inspection and replacement or securing of the moldings. Recall 25V893000 applies to certain vehicles equipped with an optional Mobis trailer-hitch wiring harness, where incorrect installation may allow moisture 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 should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
