2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

This 2024 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan (VIN KMHLM4DG7RU717819) is recorded by the auction with a “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE - JUNK” condition and a “REAR END” primary-damage code. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage code, while the junk-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos alone. The vehicle has extensive rear collision damage. The left rear quarter panel and rear-side structure are severely crushed and sharply creased, with displaced exterior material and exposed components around the rear lamp and wheel-area opening. The rear windshield is missing, with fragmented glass visible around the opening. The left rear lamp area is open and damaged, and the lamp assembly or portions of it are absent. Both rear bumper corners are damaged: the left corner is displaced with broken or separated trim, while the right corner has a separated section and loose black trim. The trunk lid and integrated upper spoiler area are severely deformed, with creasing, displaced edges, and uneven panel gaps. The rear body panel around the trunk and tail lamps is also visibly deformed, with uneven openings, particularly on the right side. Light scuffing and abrasion are present on the lower interior rear-door threshold trim. The instrument cluster displays a “Check brake light” warning. The cause and the condition of the remaining brake-light system are not established by these findings and should be diagnosed before operation. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a South Korea-built 2024 Hyundai Elantra sedan with a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, rear visibility equipment, and rear automatic emergency braking. An NHTSA safety recall, campaign 24V308000, applies to certain 2024 Elantra vehicles. An electrical short in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly may cause loss of drive power. Hyundai’s remedy is replacement of the EGR valve assembly at no charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer. Because of the severe rear structural and body damage, missing rear glass and lamp components, exposed areas, and the brake-light warning, a comprehensive inspection and repair assessment are recommended before purchase or road use.
