2023 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title with “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage code, while noting that salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The 2023 Hyundai Elantra has severe collision damage concentrated at the front-left corner. The front-left fender, hood edge, bumper, grille, and front fascia are heavily deformed, broken, displaced, or missing in places. Internal components, wiring, and the radiator-facing area are exposed. The bumper cover and lower spoiler sections are detached, with some pieces hanging below the front end. The front-left headlamp assembly and its mounting area are displaced. The left front door also has a moderate horizontal dent and scuff in its lower-middle section. The driver airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel. Multiple instrument-cluster warning indicators are illuminated, including the airbag and check-engine warnings. The extent of the front-end deformation and the deployed restraint system indicate that substantial structural, body, electrical, safety-system, and mechanical inspection will be required before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy. The supplied findings do not confirm the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, suspension, steering, frame, or other components behind the damaged front end. According to the VIN decode, this is a South Korea-built 2023 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Listed factory safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and pedestrian automatic emergency braking. The condition and operation of these systems cannot be confirmed from the supplied findings. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 22V632000 concerns the driver frontal-airbag cover emblem, which may detach during deployment; the stated remedy is replacement of the airbag. Recall 23V526000 concerns the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller, which may overheat and increase fire risk; the stated remedy is inspection and replacement of the controller as necessary. Recall completion status for this vehicle is not provided and should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
