2020 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE

The vehicle is recorded by the auction as having a **Salvage** condition and **Theft** as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports theft-related disassembly, including the missing exterior door handle and exposed steering-column wiring. The photographs also show substantial front-end collision damage. The front bumper cover at the image-left front corner is severely damaged, with a large vertical split, extensive white scrape marks, torn edges, and separated sections around the headlamp and lower corner. The image-left headlamp assembly is also severely damaged: its lens and housing are broken, an open section exposes internal projector components, and the surrounding edge is cracked and separated. A moderate dent and crease are visible along the front edge of the hood above the damaged headlamp. The exterior handle is missing from the front door on the photographed side, leaving the mounting openings and internal hardware exposed. Inside the vehicle, the lower steering-column shroud and surrounding trim are absent. The ignition-lock area, connectors, and wiring are exposed below the steering wheel. The condition and operation of the steering-column components, ignition system, electrical wiring, airbags, and other safety systems should be physically inspected before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2020 Hyundai Elantra SE sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to this model and year: a potential piston oil-ring issue affecting the 2.0L Nu MPI engine, which may cause engine damage, stalling, or an oil-related fire risk; insufficiently tightened right-side rear wheel lug nuts, which could allow the wheel to detach; and insufficiently tightened lower control-arm ball-joint fasteners, which could lead to loss of vehicle control. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
