2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE

The 2021 Hyundai Elantra is listed with a salvage certificate of title, with “FRONT END” recorded as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified auction claim: extensive front-end deformation, missing fascia and headlamp components, and exposed damaged cooling and support components are visible. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is extensively crushed, with deep creases, sharp folds, displaced metal, and a heavily deformed right-front section. The front bumper cover, grille, and other fascia components are missing. Both headlamp assemblies are absent, leaving mounting areas, wiring, and internal components exposed. The visible front support and cross-member areas are bent and displaced, while the radiator/condenser fins are substantially folded. The right-front fender and corner show severe creasing and displaced metal, with open and damaged wheel-side bodywork. The left-front fender has moderate deformation around the wheel arch and front corner. The driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel. Additional exterior damage consists of dark scrape or transfer marks on the right-rear door and adjacent rear-quarter area. The findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, steering, brakes, electrical systems, or the vehicle’s ability to start or drive. A comprehensive inspection is recommended, including assessment of the front structure, cooling system, wiring, restraint system, alignment, and any hidden damage. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a front-wheel-drive sedan equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and continuously variable transmission. The decoded trim is SE, with standard driver and passenger front airbags, side airbags, curtain airbags, electronic stability control, forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and a rearview camera. NHTSA records list recalls for this 2021 Elantra involving the front seat-belt pretensioners, windshield bonding, front seat-back recliners, and rearview camera. The seat-belt pretensioner recalls include campaign 22V354000, which replaced earlier related campaigns. Recall completion status is not provided and should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN before purchase or road use.
