2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

The vehicle is listed as a 2021 Hyundai Elantra with a Certificate of Title, and the auction’s primary-damage designation is “MECHANICAL.” This is an auction classification and is not established as a confirmed mechanical fault. Stage 1 reports that the mechanical claim cannot be confirmed from the available photographs; mechanical condition requires a physical inspection. The visible damage consists of moderate collision damage to the near-side rear passenger door. A broad, irregular discolored and scuffed area is present below the exterior handle, with distortion of the door surface around the affected area. The lower rear bumper cover also has a minor cosmetic scrape: a long, thin dark scuff line extends across the cover, with localized marking and paint loss near the left side. There is an important identification discrepancy. The supplied vehicle information identifies the car as a 2021 Elantra, but the provided VIN decode identifies VIN 5NPD84LFXHH125426 as a 2017 Hyundai Elantra sedan. The decoded vehicle is shown with a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder gasoline engine and was manufactured in the United States by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama. The model year and VIN should be verified before purchase, along with the vehicle title and physical VIN plate. NHTSA recall records supplied for the 2021 Hyundai Elantra include recalls involving front seat-belt pretensioners, windshield bonding, front-seat recliner welding, and rearview-camera operation. The seat-belt pretensioner recall was expanded and replaced by recall 22V-354, which calls for securing the pretensioner components with a cap. Dealers are to perform applicable recall remedies free of charge. Recall applicability and completion status should be confirmed using the verified VIN, particularly because the supplied VIN decodes as a 2017 model rather than a 2021 model.
