2023 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Limited

The auction lists the vehicle with a **SALVAGE CERTIFICATE** and identifies the primary damage as **SIDE**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification, based on extensive deformation of the left-side doors and adjacent quarter panel; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from the provided photos. The left rear door has severe inward crushing, with multiple deep creases, sharp folds, and scraped paint. The adjacent left rear quarter panel, including the area around the rear wheel opening, is also deformed and scraped. The left front door has moderate broad-area denting with several creases and irregular deformation across its lower and middle sections. Overall, the left side shows severe deformation extending across both doors and the rear quarter panel. The findings are limited to visible exterior body damage; no other mechanical, structural, or interior condition has been provided. The vehicle is identified by VIN decoding as a 2023 Hyundai Elantra Limited sedan with front-wheel drive, a 1.6-liter GDI Kappa gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 22V632000 concerns the driver’s frontal air-bag cover emblem, which may detach during deployment and increase the risk of occupant injury. Recall 23V526000 concerns the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller, which may overheat and increase the risk of fire. The listed remedies involve inspection or replacement by a Hyundai dealer at no charge. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase.
