2024 HYUNDAI KONA SE

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate indicating greater than 75% damage, with FRONT END recorded as the auction’s primary damage classification. The visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification through extensive missing front-end components; however, the photographs alone do not confirm the claimed greater-than-75% damage level. The front bumper assembly and central fascia are missing, leaving the front mechanical components and lower front structure exposed. The grille is also absent. Both headlamp assemblies are missing, with their mounting areas and wiring exposed. The left and right front fenders are absent, exposing the wheel-arch areas and internal components. Wiring, connectors, mounting components, and the washer-fluid reservoir are visibly exposed at the front corners. The provided findings do not establish the condition of hidden structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint-system, or cooling-system components. A thorough physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including checks of the front structure, wiring, lighting systems, safety systems, alignment, and drivability. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for the 2024 Hyundai Kona. Recall 23V650000 concerns rear seat-belt retractors that may not function properly. Recall 23V901000 concerns 12-volt battery cables that may chafe against the engine control module bracket and short during a crash, increasing the risk of an engine-compartment fire. Recall 24V308000 concerns a possible electrical short in the EGR valve assembly that may cause loss of drive power. The completion status of these recalls should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the vehicle identification number.
