2021 HYUNDAI ACCENT SE & SEL

The 2021 Hyundai Accent is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. The provided assessment states that the visible damage supports the FRONT END classification, while the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The vehicle has extensive collision damage at both ends. At the front, the hood is severely creased and buckled, with irregular gaps above the headlamps and along the front edge. The front bumper cover and much of the lower fascia are missing, exposing the radiator area, washer-fluid reservoir, and other underlying components. The grille and adjacent trim have gaps and separation. Both front corners have severe damage to the bumper and wheel-well trim; the liners and surrounding plastic are torn, displaced, or hanging near the wheels. The front-right headlamp area also has large gaps and broken-looking plastic around the assembly. The rear of the vehicle is also heavily damaged. The trunk lid is severely creased and buckled across the center and lower edge and sits unevenly relative to the surrounding panels. The rear bumper cover has extensive crushing, deep creases, cracks, and open gaps. A section of the lower bumper trim is missing, and the rear-right bumper corner is pulled away from the body with broken and displaced plastic. These findings indicate substantial front and rear collision damage. The condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, lighting components, steering and suspension, safety systems, wiring, and mechanical components cannot be determined from the listed visual findings and should be physically inspected before purchase. The vehicle should not be assumed to be roadworthy without professional repair and safety evaluation. VIN data identifies this vehicle as a front-wheel-drive, four-door sedan built in Mexico, with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a listed SE/SEL trim designation. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, front and side airbags, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, direct tire-pressure monitoring, and a rear visibility system. NHTSA records list four relevant safety recalls for this model year: recall 21V937000 for a brake master-cylinder seal issue that may reduce braking performance; recall 22V069000 and replacement recall 22V354000 concerning front seat-belt pretensioners that may deploy improperly and project metal fragments; and recall 22V311000 concerning a steering-column retention bolt that could result in loss of steering control. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer, particularly because the later seat-belt recall replaces earlier remedies.
