2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE

This 2024 Hyundai Elantra is listed with a salvage certificate of title and an auction primary-damage classification of “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified auction claim: the rear bumper cover and outer tail lamps are missing, and substantial deformation is visible in the exposed rear body panels. The complete rear bumper cover is absent across the rear, including the left rear corner, exposing the rear body, bumper components, wiring, and other internal components. Both outer rear tail-lamp assemblies are missing, leaving open lamp cavities and mounting areas. The exposed rear body structure has irregular bends and creases on both the left and right sides. The lower rear body panel is severely deformed, with pronounced horizontal creasing and irregular deformation across the center and lower rear area. The findings are limited to the visible damage described; additional damage or required repairs cannot be determined from these findings alone. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2024 Hyundai Elantra SE sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in Ulsan, South Korea. It has a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine and is equipped with factory-listed safety systems including forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping and lane-departure systems, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system. One NHTSA recall is listed for this vehicle’s make, model, and year: campaign 24V308000 concerns a possible electrical short in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly that may cause a loss of drive power. Hyundai’s stated remedy is replacement of the EGR valve assembly by a dealer free of charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before purchase.
