2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The vehicle is a 2024 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan with a gasoline 2.0-liter MPI NU PE engine, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in Ulsan, South Korea. The VIN decoded successfully. The auction record lists a Certificate of Salvage and identifies the primary damage as WATER/FLOOD. This is an unverified auction claim. Stage 1 reviewed the available exterior, interior, and dashboard photos and reported no visible tide line, flood staining, silt or mud residue, mold-like discoloration, seat-rail or seatbelt corrosion, or visible under-dash wiring corrosion. The digital instrument cluster displays normally, although warning indicators are visible. Stage 1 concluded that the visible evidence does not support the unverified WATER/FLOOD claim. No additional damage findings were provided. The vehicle should still undergo a complete physical inspection, including diagnostic scanning and verification of the warning indicators, electrical systems, wiring, and underbody. NHTSA recall campaign 24V308000 applies to certain 2024 Hyundai Elantra vehicles. An electrical short circuit in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly may cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. The stated remedy is replacement of the EGR valve assembly by a Hyundai dealer at no charge. Recall completion should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
