2023 HYUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED

The auction record lists this 2023 Hyundai Elantra as **Salvage**, with **Left Rear** identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated left-rear damage claim, with severe deformation clearly visible on the left rear door and adjacent lower door area. The left rear door outer panel has extensive, deep deformation, including multiple sharp creases across the center and lower sections. The door is visibly buckled, and the trailing door gap is irregular. Close inspection also shows pronounced crushing from the beltline to the lower edge, with several large folded areas. The lower rear-door edge and adjacent sill area are visibly deformed. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, hinges, latch, window mechanism, electrical components, or adjacent suspension and safety systems; these areas should be physically inspected. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a South Korea-built 2023 Hyundai Elantra Limited sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission. Listed factory safety equipment includes front, side, and first- and second-row curtain airbags, electronic stability and traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this make, model, and model year. Recall 22V632000 concerns the driver-front airbag cover emblem, which may detach during deployment; the remedy is replacement of the airbag. Recall 23V526000 concerns potentially damaged electrical components in the Idle Stop & Go oil-pump controller, which may overheat and increase the risk of fire; the remedy involves inspection and replacement of the controller as necessary. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase.
