2025 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HYBRID Blue, SEL Sport

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title (“CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE”) with hail as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible roof, hood, and decklid are largely smooth and do not show the numerous shallow dents or horizontal-panel concentration pattern expected for hail; therefore, the hail primary-damage claim is not supported by the photos. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the visible evidence. The documented severe damage is a missing rear windshield. The glass is absent, leaving an open rear-window aperture through which the vehicle interior is visible. Replacement of the rear glass and inspection for any related damage or water exposure will be required. The VIN decodes as a 2025 Hyundai Elantra sedan, built in South Korea, with a 1.6-liter GDI Kappa gasoline engine and hybrid-electric powertrain. The decoded equipment includes a lithium-ion battery, standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, rear visibility assistance, and curtain and side airbags for the first and second rows. Recall information lists campaign 26V308000 for certain 2024–2026 Elantra Hybrid vehicles. The hybrid power control unit (HPCU) may overheat, increasing the risk of fire. The stated remedy is a free HPCU software update. The recall record indicates that owner notification letters were mailed on July 3, 2026; repair completion and VIN-specific recall status should be confirmed with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
