2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title and an auction primary-damage code of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification through extensive damage to the front bumper, grille, and headlamp area; however, the salvage-title status cannot be verified from the available photos. The front bumper cover is severely damaged at the left corner and lower edge, with multiple broken sections, an open gap, and a lower portion hanging below the fascia. The center grille has broken and displaced black elements with open gaps. The front left headlamp area contains a dark open cavity with missing or broken visible components. The lower left bumper fascia is torn and separated, with loose plastic pieces extending downward and exposed internal areas visible. The driver airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel. The airbag system, seat belts, sensors, wiring, and other collision-related safety components should be professionally inspected and repaired or replaced as required before the vehicle is operated. The front-end damage also warrants inspection of components behind the visible body panels, as their condition cannot be established from these findings alone. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2024 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It has a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, curtain and side airbags for the first and second rows, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and LED low-beam headlamps. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle’s make, model, and year: recall 24V308000 concerns a possible electrical short circuit in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly, which may cause loss of drive power and increase crash risk. Hyundai’s stated remedy is replacement of the EGR valve assembly by a dealer free of charge. Recall completion should be confirmed with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
