2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Blue

The 2021 Hyundai Elantra is listed with a salvage-title designation, and the auction’s primary damage classification is “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible severe damage to the right-side doors, rocker panel, and rear quarter panel supports the “SIDE” classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The right rear passenger door is extensively crushed, sharply creased, and has displaced outer-panel surfaces with openings around the hardware. The deformation extends into the right rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area, which show large creases and collapsed body surfaces. The right rocker panel below the passenger doors is also severely crushed and folded. The right front passenger door has a dark vertical scrape with localized surface damage near the rear portion of the door-handle area. Multiple airbags or restraint cushions are visibly deployed in the passenger-side cabin. These include cushions hanging from the passenger-side roof and across the front passenger area, as well as a deployed side-curtain airbag extending along the right side of the cabin and over the rear passenger window area. The available findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, suspension, wheel, doors, safety systems, or mechanical components. A thorough physical inspection and post-repair restraint-system scan would be required. According to the VIN decode, this is a South Korean-built, front-wheel-drive sedan powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine with multipoint fuel injection. The decoded trim is Blue, with seating for five and two seat rows. Listed factory safety equipment includes front, side, and first- and second-row curtain airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear-visibility system. NHTSA records show recalls for this vehicle model and year involving front seat-belt pretensioners, windshield bonding, front seat-back recliners, and the rearview camera. The seat-belt pretensioner recall was expanded and replaced by campaign 22V354000. Recall remedies include securing or replacing pretensioners, inspecting or replacing affected seat-back frames, reinstalling the windshield where necessary, and replacing the rearview camera. The completion status of these recalls for this vehicle is not provided and should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase or operation.
