2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The auction record lists the vehicle with a Certificate of Destruction and “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-left bumper, headlamp, fender, and hood damage supports the stated front-end damage code. However, the Certificate of Destruction status cannot be confirmed from the available exterior and interior photographs. The front-left bumper corner is severely torn and partially missing, exposing inner components, loose wiring, and hanging plastic. The front-left headlamp assembly is absent or heavily broken, with its mounting areas and wiring exposed. The front-left fender and wheel-arch area show severe crushing and sharp deformation, while the left-front edge of the hood is raised and creased. A moderate spiderweb-like crack is visible in the upper-left section of the windshield. The driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel. The VIN identifies this vehicle as a 2024 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is equipped with a gasoline 2.0-liter MPI NU PE engine. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and other listed driver-assistance systems. NHTSA recall 24V308000 applies to certain 2024 Elantra vehicles. An electrical short circuit in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly may cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. Hyundai’s stated remedy is replacement of the EGR valve assembly free of charge. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN. The visible damage indicates that repairs will involve the front-left exterior and lighting areas, the hood, windshield, and driver-restraint system. A thorough structural, mechanical, wiring, and safety-system inspection is recommended before purchase.
