2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title and lists FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END classification; however, the salvage certificate status cannot be verified from photographs. The 2024 Hyundai Elantra has severe damage to the front bumper cover and grille. Multiple bumper sections are broken or missing, with exposed openings, displaced plastic, loose pieces, and hanging material in the lower front area. Internal front-end components are visible. The hood edge on the right side as viewed from the front is creased and raised near the corner, creating an uneven gap above the grille and headlamp area. The adjacent right front headlamp housing has a broken or open section along its inner lower edge. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed and hanging from the steering wheel. The available findings do not establish the condition of other airbags, structural components, mechanical systems, cooling components, lighting, or driver-assistance systems. A comprehensive inspection and diagnostic assessment will be required before repair or road use. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a South Korea-built 2024 Hyundai Elantra SE sedan with a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and front and rear curtain and side airbags. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model year: campaign 24V308000 concerns a possible electrical short in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly that may cause loss of drive power and increase crash risk. Hyundai’s stated remedy is free replacement of the EGR valve assembly by an authorized dealer. The available information does not confirm whether this vehicle’s recall repair has been completed.
