2022 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

This 2022 Hyundai Elantra is listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s stated primary damage is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified claim, with substantial damage and missing components at the front bumper, grille, headlamp areas, hood edge, and lower fascia. The front bumper cover, grille, center fascia, and lower front fascia/splash-shield sections are missing or broken away, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator/condenser area, wiring, and other internal front-end components. The near-side headlamp lens and housing are extensively cracked, with jagged broken sections and internal components visible. The opposite-side headlamp assembly is absent or substantially missing. The leading edge of the hood is creased and deformed, and the near-side front fender has broken or deformed damage near the headlamp, exposing black plastic structure. The VIN decodes as a U.S.-built 2022 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission. Factory safety equipment listed includes front and side airbags, curtain airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and a rearview camera. NHTSA recall records identify recalls for this model and year involving front seat-belt pretensioners, the driver’s frontal air-bag emblem, and the rearview camera. The seat-belt pretensioner campaigns include superseded notices, with campaign 22V354000 listed as the expanded replacement campaign. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is driven. Because major front-end components are missing or exposed, the vehicle requires comprehensive structural, cooling-system, wiring, lighting, restraint-system, and mechanical inspection, along with proper repair and calibration before road use.
