2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Blue

The auction record identifies this 2021 Hyundai Elantra as having a salvage title and lists the primary damage as FRONT END. The visible evidence supports the stated FRONT END classification: substantial front-end damage is present, including a crushed and deeply creased hood, a missing front bumper and grille, a missing left headlamp, and broken, displaced, or missing fascia, mounting, cooling, and support components. Detached bumper and fascia pieces are also visible separately from the vehicle. The front cooling-fin surfaces appear compressed and deformed. The driver steering-wheel airbag is deployed. The left rear bumper cover has several minor dark scuffs and surface scratches near the wheel arch. No other findings are provided. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END primary-damage code based on the substantial front-end damage, missing bumper and fascia components, missing left headlamp, and crushed hood. Stage 1 also reports that the SALVAGE TITLE status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2021 Hyundai Elantra Blue sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. The decode lists standard safety equipment including front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and a rearview camera. Official NHTSA recall records provided for this vehicle include front seat-belt pretensioner recalls, including campaign 22V354000, which replaced earlier related campaigns; the remedy involves securing the pretensioners with caps. Additional records concern possible windshield bonding, front-seat recliner welds, and a rearview camera that may fail to display. Recall remedy completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer. Because the driver airbag has deployed and the vehicle has substantial front-end damage, the complete restraint system, seat-belt pretensioners, steering-wheel assembly, cooling system, front structure, wiring, and driver-assistance systems require thorough professional inspection and repair before the vehicle is considered roadworthy.
