2024 HYUNDAI KONA SEL

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” condition, with “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END damage classification: the front bumper assembly, grille, both headlamps, and both front fenders are absent, leaving the front structure and internal components exposed. Stage 1 also states that the certificate-of-title condition cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs. The front-end damage is severe. The bumper cover, grille, fascia components, and both headlamp assemblies have been removed and are shown detached on the ground. The left and right front fenders are also missing. The exposed area includes the front reinforcement, radiator assemblies, wiring, and other internal components; their condition and any hidden damage require physical inspection. The windshield has multiple irregular cracks across it. Light scuffs and scratches are present on both sides of the vehicle, including the front and rear doors and lower side body panels. Three NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this 2024 Hyundai Kona. Recall 23V650000 concerns rear seat-belt retractors that may not function properly; the remedy is inspection and replacement as necessary. Recall 23V901000 concerns 12-volt battery cables that may chafe against the engine control module bracket and short during a crash; the remedy is installation of protective sheathing. Recall 24V308000 concerns a possible electrical short in the EGR valve assembly that may cause loss of drive power; the remedy is replacement of the EGR valve assembly. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the vehicle identification number.
