2024 HYUNDAI TUCSON XRT

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson is listed with a salvage title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified damage classification through substantial deformation and missing trim on the left side. The salvage-title status itself could not be confirmed from the photos alone. The left-side front and rear doors have severe damage, including large dents, sharp creases, and inward deformation across the middle and lower door areas. Multiple sections of the lower left rocker-panel and door cladding are missing, exposing mounting points, fasteners, and parts of the underlying rocker area. The left rear wheel-arch cladding is also incomplete, with separated or missing sections and exposed mounting points. Several airbags are visibly deployed. White curtain and side airbags are hanging from the roof-side and passenger-side interior, including a deployed side-curtain or side airbag beside the left rear seat. The condition of the complete restraint system, sensors, wiring, and other collision-related components should be physically inspected before purchase. According to the VIN decode, this is a Tucson XRT SUV equipped with four-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline GDI Theta III engine, and a manufacturer-rated output of approximately 187.6 horsepower. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in Ulsan, South Korea. Factory-listed safety equipment includes front and first- and second-row side/curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and other driver-assistance systems. The operation and calibration of these systems cannot be determined from the supplied findings. NHTSA records provided for this vehicle model and year list four recalls: an incorrect tire and loading information label; a potential overheating issue involving the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller; a possible loss of electric power-steering assist; and, for vehicles equipped with the optional Mobis tow-hitch wiring harness, a wiring issue that may allow moisture intrusion. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is put into service.
