2026 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

The vehicle is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and HAIL as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the hail claim is supported by numerous small, shallow dents concentrated across the hood, with no clearly visible paint cracking. The roof and trunk/decklid appear largely smooth in the available exterior views, so the visible hail damage is primarily concentrated on the hood. The SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The hood has numerous rounded depressions across its upward-facing surface. The paint appears continuous, without clearly visible cracking or chipping at the dents. The rear windshield is completely missing, with jagged glass remnants around the perimeter and fragments visible inside the opening. The front windshield also has multiple branching cracks in its upper-left area. Replacement of both windshields and a thorough inspection for hidden glass fragments, sealing issues, and related damage will be required. The VIN decodes as a 2026 Hyundai Elantra sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine. The decode lists standard safety equipment including front, side, and curtain airbags, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear visibility assistance, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and rear automatic emergency braking. An NHTSA recall is listed for certain 2026 Hyundai Elantra vehicles under campaign 26V254000. The recall concerns potentially misassembled B-pillar side-impact sensors, which could delay airbag deployment. Dealers are to inspect and replace the affected sensor(s) free of charge. Confirm applicability and completion using this vehicle’s VIN before purchase or operation. A complete post-repair inspection should also verify the windshield systems, body panels, airbag system, and overall roadworthiness.
