2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE

This 2021 Hyundai Elantra is listed with a salvage certificate stating greater than 75% damage, with “REAR END” identified as the primary auction damage classification. The auction designation is an unverified claim. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated rear-end classification because substantial damage is present at the right rear quarter panel and bumper; however, the photos show localized exterior damage and do not support or confirm the stated greater-than-75% damage extent. The front center grille has multiple broken, displaced, or missing slats and sections, with irregular openings and exposed broken plastic edges. The surrounding front bumper cover is cracked and deformed, with uneven edges and separated sections. At the rear, the right quarter panel is deeply dented and deformed above and forward of the rear wheel. The wheel-arch area has heavy paint scuffing, exposed lighter-colored material, and irregular panel edges. The right rear bumper corner is torn and scuffed, with an irregular opening and a pronounced gap where it meets the quarter panel. The VIN 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. Factory-decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear visibility system. Official NHTSA records list recalls affecting this vehicle model and year. These include front seat-belt pretensioners that may release metal fragments during deployment; the later 22V354000 recall supersedes several earlier pretensioner campaigns and calls for securing the pretensioners with caps. Other listed recalls concern possible windshield detachment, improperly welded front seat recliners, and a rearview camera that may fail to display. Recall completion should be verified through Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN before purchase. The supplied findings do not confirm the repair status or the condition of any components not specifically described.
