2021 HYUNDAI ACCENT SE & SEL

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE – SALVAGE” with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The vehicle has extensive severe collision damage to the front end. The hood is deeply crushed and heavily creased across the front and center sections. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator area, wiring, and other front-end components. The bumper reinforcement is visibly bent and deformed. Both headlamp assemblies are absent from their mounting positions, and the two detached assemblies shown separately have broken or separated housings, including one that is visibly open and damaged. Moderate damage is also present at the rear. The trunk lid has a broad recessed dent with multiple creases across the center and lower section around the license-plate recess. Based on the VIN decode, this is a 2021 Hyundai Accent sedan with front-wheel drive, a gasoline 1.6-liter four-cylinder Gamma II engine, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured in Mexico. Factory-listed safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, anti-lock braking, dynamic brake support, and a rear visibility system. Official NHTSA recall information lists four campaigns for this vehicle model and year. These concern the brake master cylinder, front seat-belt pretensioners, and steering-column retention hardware. The seat-belt pretensioner campaign was later replaced or expanded by campaign 22V354000. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is driven, along with a complete inspection of the braking, steering, restraint, cooling, lighting, wiring, and front structural components.
