2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE

This 2021 Hyundai Elantra is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction-reported primary damage classification of FRONT END. The visible evidence supports the unverified FRONT END primary-damage claim through extensive deformation and missing components at the front of the vehicle. The SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The front bumper cover, grille, front-end trim, wheel-well liner sections, and other plastic components are missing or detached. Both headlamp assemblies are absent, leaving open mounting areas and internal components exposed. The hood is severely creased and crushed across the front and right-front areas, with its front edge raised above the engine compartment. The visible front fender and front-corner sheet metal are also heavily deformed. The radiator and condenser cooling assembly is exposed, tilted, and visibly deformed. Wiring and other front-end components are hanging in front of the cooling stack. The upper and lower front support areas show irregular shapes, open gaps, and displaced mounting components, indicating substantial damage to the front structural and mounting areas. A driver steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed. The extent of the damage means that the cooling system, wiring, front support structure, lighting and safety systems, steering and suspension components, engine-bay components, and related mounting points require a complete physical inspection. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy without professional structural, mechanical, and safety-system assessment and repair. According to the VIN decode, this is a front-wheel-drive sedan with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and continuously variable transmission. It is an SE trim vehicle manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. NHTSA records list recalls for this vehicle’s model year involving front seat-belt pretensioners, windshield bonding, front seat-back recliners, and the rearview camera system. The seat-belt pretensioner recall was expanded and replaced by campaign 22V354000. Recall repair status for this specific vehicle is not provided and should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase.
