2023 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title and a stated auction primary damage classification of rear end. The provided assessment reports that the visible rear-end damage supports the stated rear-end classification; however, the salvage-certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. Significant collision damage is present across both rear corners. The rear bumper cover is severely displaced and heavily creased on the left and right sides, with open gaps along the quarter-panel areas. Both exterior tail-lamp assemblies are missing, leaving the mounting areas, holes, and internal components exposed. The body panels surrounding both rear lamp openings show deformation, irregular edges, and exposed mounting areas. The trunk lid has a prominent horizontal crease and localized deformation across its center and lower area. A large opening is visible below the trunk lid in the rear trunk and bumper area, with internal body components and sections of the exterior bumper and lamps missing or exposed. Structural components, wiring, sensors, the trunk closing and sealing areas, and the rear impact system should be physically inspected before purchase or repair. The instrument cluster displays a “Check brake light” warning with a red rear-light indicator. This is consistent with the missing rear lamp assemblies, but the complete lighting circuit and associated wiring should be tested. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2023 Hyundai Elantra SEL with the Convenience Package, a four-door front-wheel-drive sedan built in South Korea. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a continuously variable transmission. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 22V632000 concerns a driver-front-airbag cover emblem that may detach during deployment; the remedy is replacement of the airbag. Recall 23V526000 concerns the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller, which may overheat and increase the risk of fire; the remedy involves inspection and replacement of the controller as necessary. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
