2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF SALVAGE >75% DAMAGE” with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1’s photo review supports the FRONT END classification. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible damage appears localized to the front corner and that the photos do not support the claim of damage exceeding 75% of the vehicle; the photographs cannot establish the actual percentage of total damage. The visible damage is concentrated at the front right corner. The front bumper cover is severely split and displaced, with the lower section hanging away from the body and internal components exposed. The main front-right headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity and exposed mounting points. The front-right fender and wheel-arch edge show moderate crumpling and deformation. The front grille and adjacent right-side trim are broken or displaced, with irregular gaps and exposed components. The VIN identifies this vehicle as a 2024 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine. The VIN decode lists standard equipment including 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. The operational condition of these systems cannot be determined from the provided findings. An NHTSA recall is listed under campaign 24V308000 for certain 2024 Hyundai Elantra vehicles. An electrical short in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly 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 for this vehicle.
