2023 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a Certificate of Title and identifies the primary damage as rear-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the rear bumper cover and both outer rear lamp assemblies are missing, and the rear corners show visible deformation. The rear bumper cover is absent across the lower rear section, exposing internal bumper components, mounting areas, and the lower rear body panel. Both outer rear lamp assemblies are missing, leaving open mounting areas and exposed wiring or component openings. The metal and panel edges around both lamp and bumper openings are irregular, creased, and bent, with displaced mounting flanges. Internal components and mounting structures are exposed at both rear corners. Repairs should include a detailed inspection of the rear body structure, mounting points, wiring, and any components behind the damaged areas before replacement parts are installed. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2023 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan built in South Korea. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, front-wheel drive, and a continuously variable transmission. Listed factory safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model year. Campaign 22V632000 concerns a driver’s front-airbag cover emblem that may detach during deployment; the remedy is replacement of the airbag. Campaign 23V526000 concerns the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller, which may overheat and increase the risk of fire; the remedy involves inspection and replacement of the controller as necessary. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before purchase or return to service.
