2020 HYUNDAI ACCENT SE and SEL

The auction record lists a salvage title and identifies “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe damage at the passenger-side front corner and front side supports the reported “FRONT END” claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated on the passenger side. The front passenger door is deeply creased and deformed, with the lower door edge and adjacent rocker panel crushed and irregular. The passenger-side front fender and wheel-arch area are also crushed, with torn and displaced panel edges around the front wheel. The passenger-side front bumper corner is cracked, torn, and displaced, with inner components visible behind the damaged bumper and fender. The front wheel area is exposed on a black steel wheel, and the surrounding body panels are displaced. The driver airbag is deployed, and side-curtain airbags are visibly deployed along the upper cabin and beside the passenger-side front seat. These systems, along with the seat-belt pretensioners and related restraint components, will require professional inspection and likely replacement. A small scuff is also visible on the center-lower rear bumper. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2020 Hyundai Accent sedan with a gasoline 1.6-liter, four-cylinder DOHC MPI Gamma II engine. The vehicle was manufactured by Kia Motors Mexico in Tijuana, Mexico. The VIN is 3KPC24A69LE112809. NHTSA records list recalls applicable to 2020 Accent vehicles, including a trunk-latch recall and a front seat-belt pretensioner recall. Recall 22V354000 replaced and expanded earlier pretensioner recalls; the remedy involves securing the pretensioner assemblies with a cap at no charge. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before operation. The extent of the visible structural-area, wheel-area, body, and restraint-system damage means the vehicle requires comprehensive mechanical, suspension, steering, structural, electrical, and safety-system inspection before repair or road use.
