2020 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

The vehicle is listed by the auction as having a salvage/rebuildable certificate of title, with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. The visible front-end damage supports that primary-damage code; however, the salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front bumper cover is missing and is also shown detached, with broken or torn mounting areas and separated black trim pieces. The grille and lower front fascia are absent, leaving the lower front structure, radiator area, mounting points, wiring, and other components exposed. The hood is raised and uneven, with large irregular gaps at both front-side edges and above the headlamps. One headlamp lens has a visible fracture in its inner lower area. The extent of any damage behind the exposed components should be assessed during a physical inspection. The driver steering-wheel airbag and lower dashboard/knee airbag are deployed. The instrument cluster displays tire-pressure, brake, airbag, and engine warning indicators. The rear bumper also has broad horizontal scuffing and visible gray paint loss or transfer across its center and lower area. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2020 Hyundai Elantra sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission. The VIN data identifies the vehicle as a U.S.-built model and lists the SEL, Value Edition, and Limited trim range, but does not specify the exact trim or available options. Three NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 21V301000 concerns potentially improperly heat-treated piston oil rings in vehicles equipped with the 2.0-liter Nu MPI engine, which may lead to engine damage, stalling, or an oil-related fire risk. Recall 19V720000 concerns insufficiently tightened right-rear wheel lug nuts, which could allow the wheel to detach. Recall 19V721000 concerns insufficiently tightened lower control-arm ball-joint fasteners, which could allow the ball joint to detach and cause loss of control. Completion of all recall remedies should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
