2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE

The auction record identifies this vehicle as having a “SALVAGE CERTIFICATE” and lists the primary damage as “ALL OVER.” These are auction designations and should be independently verified. The photo-review verdict reports extensive visible collision damage across the front, rear, and left side, consistent with an all-over damage classification. It also notes no clear rollover deformation on the roof, while the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The 2021 Hyundai Elantra has severe damage at both ends of the vehicle. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing the bumper structure, wiring, brackets, and mounting areas. The right rear mounting area is visibly displaced and damaged. The trunk lid is heavily crushed and creased across the lower center and right side. At the front, the hood is severely crushed and folded. The front bumper cover, grille, and other fascia components are missing, leaving the cooling and support components exposed. These areas show crushed cooling fins, broken plastic parts, and displaced supports. The left front corner is also damaged, with missing lamp and fascia components and deformation around the fender and mounting areas. The left side has extensive body damage. The left rear door and quarter panel contain deep dents, sharp creases, and irregular deformation extending around the rear wheel area. The left front door is creased and dented along its rear and lower sections. Broken glass is visible inside the rear passenger compartment, and several detached bumper and exterior trim pieces are lying beside the vehicle. The driver airbag and multiple side curtain airbags are visibly deployed, including airbags along the left roof and side-window areas and across the rear side-window area. This indicates that the supplemental restraint system will require a comprehensive inspection and likely replacement of deployed components, associated sensors, pretensioners, control modules, wiring, and interior trim. The condition of the vehicle’s structural members, suspension, steering, cooling system, drivetrain, and electrical systems cannot be determined from the supplied findings and should be checked before purchase. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a U.S.-built 2021 Hyundai Elantra SE sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission. The decoded VIN is 5NPLL4AG2MH020489. NHTSA records list several recalls for this model year, including front seat-belt pretensioners that may release metal fragments during deployment, a potentially improperly welded front-seat recliner, possible windshield-bonding problems, and a rearview-camera failure that may prevent the image from displaying. The pretensioner recall was expanded and replaced by campaign 22V354000. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer, and all restraint-system repairs should be documented before the vehicle is considered roadworthy.
