2022 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL w/Convenience Pkg

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary-damage classification is “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified SIDE classification, with severe damage visible on the left rear door, left rear quarter panel, left rear bumper corner, and left rear tire. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from photographs. The left rear door has extensive crushing, deep dents, and sharp creasing across the outer skin. The left rear quarter panel is deeply dented and creased around the fuel-filler area and rear wheel arch. The left rear bumper corner is deformed, with an irregular gap where it meets the damaged wheel-arch area. The left rear tire has extensive tearing and shredded rubber around the sidewall and outer shoulder. Multiple small green-tinted glass fragments are also visible along the driver-side lower door sill and floor beside the front driver’s seat. The VIN identifies this vehicle as a 2022 Hyundai Elantra sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States and is decoded as an SEL with Convenience Package. NHTSA records list several recalls for this model and year. The most relevant safety campaigns include front seat-belt pretensioners that may project metal fragments if they explode during deployment; recall 22V354000 replaces and supersedes the earlier related pretensioner recalls. A separate recall, 22V632000, concerns the driver’s frontal air-bag cover emblem, which may detach during deployment. Recall 24V879000 concerns a rearview camera circuit-board defect that may cause the camera image to fail. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN before the vehicle is operated or repaired. Due to the severity of the side damage, the damaged tire, remaining glass, and salvage-title status, a thorough structural, wheel-and-suspension, restraint-system, electrical, and mechanical inspection is recommended before purchase.
