2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

This 2024 Hyundai Elantra is listed with a salvage title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification: the front bumper, grille, headlamps, and related fascia components are absent, and the hood is visibly deformed. Stage 1 also notes that the SALVAGE TITLE designation cannot be confirmed from the photos alone. The front bumper cover, grille, and visible headlamp assemblies are missing. The detached bumper assembly and related fascia pieces are shown separately, with several pieces broken, separated, or deformed. The radiator/condenser assembly, hoses, wiring, washer-fluid reservoir, and other front-end components are exposed. The hood has multiple pronounced creases and depressions, along with an uneven raised gap at the front edge. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is deployed. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2024 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline 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. These systems and their sensors should be inspected and recalibrated as necessary after repairs. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle: campaign 24V308000, involving a possible electrical short in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly that may cause loss of drive power. The stated 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 road use. The visible damage is concentrated at the front of the vehicle and includes deployed restraint equipment and exposed cooling and electrical components. A complete structural, mechanical, electrical, airbag, and ADAS inspection is recommended before estimating repair costs or determining roadworthiness.
