2022 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The vehicle is a 2022 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission. The VIN decoder identifies it as built by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. The auction record designates the vehicle as having a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and lists SIDE as the primary damage classification. The visible side-panel dents and creasing support the SIDE classification. However, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. Moderate collision damage is visible on both sides of the rear body area. The left rear door has broad horizontal and diagonal creasing with distortion across the outer panel. The adjacent left rear quarter panel, near the rear wheel arch, is deformed and has an irregular scraped area with paint loss or exposed lighter-colored material. The right rear door has a broad irregular dent with multiple horizontal creases and distortion of the body lines. Minor linear scuffing and rubbed areas are also visible across portions of the right-side door panels. The provided NHTSA records list several recalls for this make, model, and year. These include a front seat-belt pretensioner recall under campaign 22V354000, a driver-front-airbag recall under campaign 22V632000, and a rearview-camera recall under campaign 24V879000. Recall completion should be confirmed with Hyundai or through an authorized dealer using the VIN before purchase. A physical inspection is recommended to assess repairs, door and quarter-panel alignment, paint quality, wheel-arch and structural areas, and the operation of safety and camera systems.
