2026 HYUNDAI KONA SE

This 2026 Hyundai Kona has severe collision damage concentrated at the front end. The front bumper cover, grille-facing trim, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, exposing the radiator assemblies, front reinforcement, wiring, and other internal mounting components. A complete lamp assembly and a large molded plastic panel are also shown detached on the ground, with broken or separated mounting sections. The front-side fender is severely crushed and folded around the wheel opening and front corner, with irregular edges and exposed internal areas. The adjacent front door has broad dents, creases, and scuffing. Lower side molding or rocker-area trim is missing, with mounting points visible. Several small dark stains or discolorations are present on the light-colored rear seat backrest. The auction record lists the vehicle as having a Certificate of Destruction and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. The visible severe front-end damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the provided photos cannot confirm or independently establish the Certificate of Destruction designation. The supplied recall information lists three safety recalls for this make, model, and year. Recall 26V047000 concerns a software error that may cause the instrument-panel display to fail; the remedy is a free software update. Recall 26V069000 concerns front steering knuckles that may crack and break, potentially causing loss of steering control; dealers are to inspect and replace affected knuckles as necessary. Recall 26V452000 concerns the rear center seat-belt buckle, which may fail to properly restrain an occupant; the remedy is free buckle replacement, and the rear center seat should not be used until the repair is completed. Recall completion and applicability should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA.
