2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Limited

The vehicle is listed with a “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” condition and a primary damage code of “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible damage includes substantial damage to the side/front-side panels and the front corner, supporting the SIDE classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be verified from the photos. The most severe damage is concentrated at the vehicle’s right-front corner. The front bumper cover is crushed, torn, displaced, and partially detached, with broken sections hanging below the front fascia. The grille and lower front fascia have multiple broken and displaced plastic sections, with openings exposing components behind them. The right-front headlamp assembly is absent or broken, leaving an open cavity and visible internal components. The right-front fender is severely crushed and sharply creased around the wheel arch and front-door edge, with torn and displaced panel material. The adjacent hood corner is deformed and creased. The right-front door and lower side area have a large irregular dent with multiple pronounced creases and visibly disturbed panel surfaces. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2024 Hyundai Elantra Limited sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and curtain and side airbags for the first and second rows. An official NHTSA recall, campaign 24V308000, applies to certain 2024 Elantra vehicles. An electrical short circuit in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly may cause a loss of drive power. The specified remedy is replacement of the EGR valve assembly by a Hyundai dealer free of charge. Recall completion should be confirmed with Hyundai using the vehicle identification number. The visible findings indicate extensive collision damage to the right-front corner and right-front side. Replacement of exterior panels, front lighting and fascia components, along with inspection of the underlying mounting points, cooling components, steering and suspension systems, wiring, restraint systems, and overall structural condition, should be completed before purchase or road use.
