2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Limited

This 2024 Hyundai Elantra is listed with a Certificate of Destruction and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. The visible front-end damage supports the FRONT END classification. However, the Certificate of Destruction status cannot be confirmed from exterior and interior photographs alone. The vehicle has severe damage concentrated at the front. The hood is buckled, raised, and substantially deformed along the front edge and left side, creating a large uneven gap above the grille and left headlamp area. The left front fender is folded and creased around the wheel opening and headlamp area. The left headlamp assembly is broken or missing, leaving internal components exposed. The front bumper cover and related corner trim are displaced, with the lower bumper section hanging forward and downward and exposed components visible at the right front corner. The left side of the grille is broken and displaced, with gaps behind it. The front-end panel deformation extends across the hood and bumper area. The driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2024 Hyundai Elantra Limited sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in Ulsan, South Korea. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine. Factory-listed equipment includes ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, curtain and side airbags for the first and second rows, forward collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system. The VIN decode does not provide the drivetrain or transmission details. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle: campaign 24V308000, concerning a possible electrical short circuit in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly that may cause a loss of drive power. The stated remedy is replacement of the EGR valve assembly by a Hyundai dealer free of charge. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai using the VIN. Because the front structure, lighting, bumper components, restraint system, and potentially concealed mechanical or safety systems may be affected, a complete physical inspection and verification of the repair requirements are recommended before purchase.
