2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The 2024 Hyundai Elantra has severe collision damage concentrated at the front. The hood is heavily crumpled and buckled across the front and center sections, with deep creases and an uneven raised front edge. The front bumper, grille, and lower fascia are fractured, displaced, torn, and partially hanging, with internal components exposed. The front-left headlamp area, adjacent fender, and surrounding body-panel gaps are also damaged and misaligned. The upper engine-bay trim is cracked, displaced, and separated, and light-colored abrasions are visible on the hood and bumper cover. The driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel, and a second airbag is deployed below the steering column into the driver’s footwell. The airbag warning indicator is illuminated on the instrument cluster. Replacement or repair of the affected restraint-system components and a full diagnostic inspection should be expected. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a South Korean-built 2024 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan with a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and front and rear automatic emergency braking features. NHTSA recall campaign 24V308000 is listed for certain 2024 Elantra vehicles. An electrical short in the exhaust-gas-recirculation valve assembly may cause a loss of drive power. The specified remedy is replacement of the EGR valve assembly by a Hyundai dealer at no charge; recall completion should be verified by VIN before purchase or operation.
