2020 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

The 2020 Hyundai Elantra is listed in the auction records with a “Certificate of Destruction” condition and “Rollover” as the primary damage classification. These are auction designations and are not independently confirmed by the provided findings. Stage 1 reports that the photos show extensive damage across the front, rear, roof, multiple side areas, and glazing, together with deployed airbags, supporting the stated all-over damage scope. However, the photos cannot establish that the damage was specifically caused by a rollover, and certificate-of-destruction status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The vehicle has severe damage at both ends. At the front, the bumper fascia and grille are missing or broken away, the lighting assemblies are absent or damaged, and internal brackets, wiring, hoses, and cooling components are exposed. The hood is heavily crushed with deep folds and displaced edges. Both front corners show significant damage, including crushed or torn fender areas, missing exterior panels, and exposed internal structure. The radiator and condenser area is visibly bent or displaced. Damage is also present around the right front door and adjacent body panels. At the rear, the bumper assembly and associated trim are missing, leaving brackets, wiring, and internal components exposed. The right rear corner, quarter panel, trunk area, and trunk lid have substantial deformation, creasing, irregular panel gaps, and displaced contours. The right rear taillight is broken or incomplete. The right rear door and surrounding side panels also show creasing and uneven alignment. The roof is severely buckled, with deep creases and a lowered, uneven contour around the rear roof opening. The rear windshield is missing, with residual broken glass around the opening, while the front windshield is extensively cracked and shattered. Interior trim and components are detached or displaced in both the front and rear passenger compartments. The steering-wheel airbag, passenger airbag, and side-curtain airbags are visibly deployed. The engine bay contains visibly displaced and damaged components, exposed wiring, and broken or separated surrounding parts, particularly on the left side. The operating condition of the engine and other mechanical systems is not visually confirmed. Given the extent of the structural, body, glass, restraint-system, and engine-bay damage, substantial repairs and replacement of safety-related and internal components would be expected. The vehicle should undergo a comprehensive physical inspection before any consideration of repair or purchase. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a South Korea-built 2020 Hyundai Elantra sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to this make, model, and year. Recall 21V301000 concerns improperly heat-treated piston oil rings on vehicles equipped with the 2.0-liter Nu MPI engine, which may cause engine damage, stalling, or an oil-related fire risk; the remedy involves inspection or engine replacement as needed and installation of related software. 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. Recall completion should be confirmed through Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
