2020 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE

The 2020 Hyundai Elantra is listed with a salvage/rebuildable title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-left fender, bumper, hood-edge, and driver-door damage supports the FRONT END classification. The salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front-left fender is severely crushed and heavily creased around the wheel arch, with torn and open areas near the headlamp and bumper junction. The front bumper cover is displaced at the left corner, leaving a large gap and exposing black inner components. The front edge of the hood has a raised, irregular gap and visible unevenness above the grille. The left front door has moderate deformation across the outer panel, including multiple sharp horizontal and diagonal creases, a large dent, and scuffed paint. A small area of missing or darkened paint is also visible on the center-right portion of the trunk lid below the model lettering. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2020 Hyundai Elantra SE sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission. It was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to this make, model, and year. 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, which could allow the wheel to detach. Recall 19V721000 concerns insufficiently tightened lower control-arm ball-joint fasteners, which could lead to loss of vehicle control. The completion status of these recalls should be confirmed with Hyundai or an authorised dealer before purchase. A physical inspection is recommended to assess concealed front-end, suspension, steering, safety-system, and mechanical damage, as well as the quality and extent of any previous repairs.
