2023 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Blue

The auction records the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with a primary damage classification of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The 2023 Hyundai Elantra has severe collision damage concentrated at the front. The hood is heavily creased and buckled, particularly across the front-left area, with an uneven raised edge and a large gap along the front-left hood line. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are missing, and a detached red-and-black bumper assembly is lying in front of the vehicle. The radiator, condenser, reinforcement, brackets, and other front-end components are exposed, with several loose wires hanging across the lower front area. Both front fender corners are deformed. The left front headlamp assembly is missing, while the right headlamp area has an irregular opening with visible damage to the surrounding components. The central grille is also absent. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is deployed and hanging from the steering wheel. A rocker trim piece is detached and hanging beneath the left front door area. Additional visible damage includes light paint scuffing on the left rear door and adjacent side trim. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a 2023 Hyundai Elantra sedan manufactured in South Korea, with front-wheel drive, a 1.6-liter GDI Kappa engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The decoder also lists gasoline as the primary fuel and electric as a secondary fuel, with the electrification level reported as a hybrid with an unknown level. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 22V632000 concerns the driver’s frontal airbag cover emblem, which may detach during deployment; the remedy is replacement of the airbag. Recall 23V526000 concerns the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller, which may overheat and increase the risk of fire; the remedy involves inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the controller. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is operated. The visible deployed airbag also requires replacement and a complete inspection of the restraint system.ાન્ય
