2020 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE

This 2020 Hyundai Elantra SE is listed with a “CERT OF TITLE SLVG REBUILDABLE” condition and an auction primary-damage classification of “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive rear-end damage supports the REAR END classification. The salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing internal bumper components, wiring, connectors, mounting areas, and body panels. The right rear corner and quarter-panel area are severely crushed, with sharply creased metal, folded surfaces, and displaced panel edges. The lower rear body panel is extensively deformed, while the bumper reinforcement and lower plastic components appear bent, broken, and displaced. The lower edge of the trunk lid also has visible creasing and an uneven contour. Rear-corner trim and bumper material are missing around the right quarter-panel junction. The front exterior has several minor paint chips on the hood and near the right front fender. No other findings were provided. Factory decoding identifies the vehicle as a U.S.-built, front-wheel-drive sedan with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and continuously variable transmission. The VIN is 5NPD74LF0LH599638. NHTSA records list three recalls for this vehicle configuration: recall 21V301000 concerns potentially improperly heat-treated piston oil rings in vehicles equipped with the 2.0L Nu MPI engine, which may cause engine damage, stalling, or an oil-related fire risk; recall 19V720000 concerns insufficiently tightened right-side rear wheel lug nuts that could allow wheel detachment; and recall 19V721000 concerns insufficiently tightened lower control-arm ball-joint fasteners that could allow the ball joint to detach and cause loss of control. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase or road use.
