2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE

The auction record lists this 2024 Hyundai Elantra as “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” with “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage claim, while noting that the photos cannot confirm whether the vehicle has more than 75% total damage. The vehicle has extensive severe front-end collision damage. The hood is sharply creased and deformed across the center and front edge, which is raised and irregular. The front bumper cover and grille area are missing, exposing internal components, mounting structures, and wiring. Front-end brackets, panels, and support components appear bent, displaced, broken, or disconnected. Both headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving open cavities at the front corners. A visible finned cooling component behind the missing fascia has pronounced bending and crushing. The driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel. Side and curtain airbags are also deployed in the front cabin, roof-side area, left rear passenger compartment, and from the side of the front seatback. These restraint-system components will require assessment and likely replacement, along with inspection of related sensors and control modules. At the rear, the bumper cover is separated from the body at the left rear corner, with an open gap and exposed dark material. At the right rear corner, the bumper cover projects outward, exposing mounting holes and attachment areas. According to the VIN decode, this is 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 equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear automatic emergency braking. NHTSA recall campaign 24V308000 applies to certain 2024 Hyundai Elantra vehicles. An electrical short in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly may cause loss of drive power, increasing crash risk. Hyundai’s stated remedy is replacement of the EGR valve assembly at no charge. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN. The visible damage indicates a major repair project involving the front body and cooling area, exterior components, lighting, bumper attachments, and multiple airbags and restraint-system components. Mechanical, electrical, structural, alignment, and drivability conditions cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be checked through a comprehensive physical inspection before purchase.
