2023 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

This 2023 Hyundai Elantra is listed with a “Bill of Sale” auction condition and “Right Front” as the primary damage location. The Stage 1 assessment states that the visible evidence supports the stated right-front damage location, while the Bill of Sale designation is an administrative status that cannot be confirmed or contradicted from vehicle photographs. The right front corner has extensive collision damage. The bumper cover is torn and partially detached, with large sections missing and broken material hanging below the front end. The grille has multiple cracked, broken, and missing slats, leaving the area behind it exposed. The right front fender is severely buckled and sharply creased around the headlamp area and upper wheel opening. Exterior fascia and trim are missing from the corner, exposing brackets and other internal components. A long lower bumper or trim piece is detached and extending downward, and a broken, dirt-covered plastic and metal component is visible on the ground near the damaged area. Light surface scuffs and discoloration are also present on the front portion of the hood. The damage findings do not establish the condition of the underlying mechanical, electrical, cooling, suspension, steering, restraint, or structural systems. These areas should be physically inspected, particularly because internal components are exposed and the fender is heavily deformed. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy until the damaged and detached parts, alignment, safety systems, and any hidden damage have been assessed and repaired. According to the VIN decode, this is a four-door Elantra SEL with the Convenience Package, front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 22V632000 concerns the driver’s frontal air-bag cover emblem, which may detach during deployment; the remedy is replacement of the air bag. 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, if necessary, replacement of the controller. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
