2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE

This 2024 Hyundai Elantra is listed in the auction records with a salvage certificate and more than 75% damage, with “REAR END” identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear bumper and rear-end damage supports the rear-end primary-damage claim; however, the stated damage extent of more than 75% cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. Extensive severe front-end damage is also visible. The front bumper cover, grille-area fascia, and lower front fascia are missing, exposing the reinforcement, radiator-area components, wiring, mounting points, and other internal front-end parts. The detached front bumper assembly shown separately is broken into multiple pieces, including separated grille sections and damaged mounting areas. The front-left fender is torn around the wheel arch with missing material, while the front-right fender has moderate tearing and displacement. The hood has a bent, uneven front edge with deformation at both corners. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing, leaving its mounting area and internal components exposed. The front-right headlamp is displaced and has damaged surrounding trim and an irregular broken-looking outer area. The visible front plastic support and fan-shroud components also have broken or missing sections. At the rear, the bumper cover is severely damaged, with a large central opening, broken sections, separated upper edges, and displacement at both rear corners. The cover is pulled away from the body at the left and right rear corners, leaving visible gaps and damaged edges. Surface scuffing and paint-transfer marks are visible on the left and right front and rear doors, both rocker areas, and the rear quarter panels. Abrasion is also present around the lower door and wheel-arch areas. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2024 Hyundai Elantra SE sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It has a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine. The decoded safety equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and front and rear curtain and side airbags. NHTSA recall campaign 24V308000 applies to certain 2024 Hyundai Elantra vehicles. An electrical short circuit in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly may cause loss of drive power, increasing crash risk. The stated remedy is replacement of the EGR valve assembly by a Hyundai dealer at no charge. Recall completion for this vehicle should be verified before purchase. The photographs show substantial collision damage at both the front and rear, along with damage to lighting, body panels, bumper structures, exposed supports, and wiring. A complete physical inspection is required to determine the condition of the underlying structural, cooling, electrical, restraint, suspension, and mechanical systems, as well as the total repair cost.
