2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

This 2024 Hyundai Elantra is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status and a REAR END primary-damage code. The visible evidence supports the stated REAR END code through extensive rear-end crushing and missing components; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status itself cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The rear of the vehicle has severe damage. The trunk lid is heavily buckled, crushed, and creased, with an irregular rear opening and substantial gaps. The rear body panel below the trunk is also distorted, split, and creased. Much of the rear bumper cover and lower fascia is missing, exposing internal brackets, wiring, structural areas, and exhaust-related components. Remaining bumper material is broken or hanging. Damage is also visible around the rear lamp area, including broken or displaced trim, missing sections, and exposed interior material. The front end also has significant collision damage, concentrated at one corner. The front bumper cover and grille-area trim are severely cracked, torn, partially detached, and missing in places. A large white bumper section is hanging outward. The hood near the affected corner is moderately deformed, with extensive chipped or missing paint and exposed underlayer. The trim and body material surrounding the headlamp are broken and displaced; the visible headlamp lens does not show an unambiguous crack in the available image. Multiple detached exterior parts are lying beside the vehicle, including large bumper or fascia sections, a white painted body-panel section, and smaller broken fragments. The findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, steering, cooling system, safety restraints, sensors, wiring, or underlying structural components. A detailed physical inspection and verification of repairs would be necessary before purchase. The VIN decodes to a 2024 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is equipped with a gasoline 2.0-liter MPI NU PE engine. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. NHTSA recall campaign 24V308000 applies to certain 2024 Elantra vehicles. An electrical short circuit in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly may cause a loss of drive power, increasing crash risk. Hyundai’s stated remedy is replacement of the EGR valve assembly at no charge. Recall completion should be confirmed with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN before the vehicle is operated.
