The two selected Tucson TL/TLE rear locks share a five-pin connector description, but they are different handed assemblies. They also have application limits that vary with engine and trim. Check position, trim and build month before relying on the shape of a latch photograph.
Identify the rear-door side explicitly
| Position | Australian RHD side | Selected reference |
|---|---|---|
| Rear left | Passenger side | 81410-D3500 |
| Rear right | Driver side | 81420-D3500 |
The linked offers are the rear-left latch and actuator and rear-right latch and actuator. Neither is a front-door or tailgate lock. Do not reverse left and right because an overseas description calls a different side the driver side.
Do not flatten the trim-specific end dates
The listed 07/2015–02/2021 scope includes the stated 1.6L G4FJ turbo-petrol and 2.0L G4NC petrol applications, plus the listed D4HA diesel Elite/Highlander applications. Additional limits apply:
- D4HA diesel Active: the listed range ends 08/2018.
- G4NA petrol Active: the listed range ends 04/2017.
- The listed G4NA Elite application runs to 02/2021.
These statements describe the selected offers. If the exact engine/trim combination is unclear, send the VIN and build month for confirmation; do not infer every trim from the broad TL/TLE title.
Compare both side and connector configuration
Match the original reference, five actual connector pins, oval-ended socket, cable ends, housing and latch mounting points. Ask for a clear connector view if the contacts are obscured. Do not interpret an outside housing count as proof of populated terminals.
Check what arrives with the lock
Each selected package includes the actuator/latch and attached blue-sleeved control cables shown. Handles, door wiring and installation hardware are excluded. The workshop should diagnose the lock complaint and determine the remaining repair requirements separately.
Send the VIN, build month, engine, trim, rear-door side, original reference and accessible original-part photographs. Keep the current fitment and availability check on the relevant product page.
