2021 HYUNDAI KONA SEL

The vehicle is recorded as a 2021 Hyundai Kona with a salvage title and “FRONT END” listed as the auction’s primary damage classification. The provided assessment states that the visible front-end bumper and hood damage supports the auction’s FRONT END classification. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front bumper cover is detached from the adjacent body panels at the affected corner, with an uneven gap and displaced lower edge. A section of the bumper insert or trim is missing, leaving an open rectangular cavity through which inner components are visible. Additional damage is present in the front bumper fascia below the headlamp area, where a large opening and irregularly separated lower edge are visible. The front edge of the hood is raised, creating a wide, uneven gap above the grille and headlamp areas. A similar elevated, uneven gap is visible where the hood meets the front fender. The extent of any damage to underlying supports, mounting points, lighting components, sensors, cooling systems, or other front-end structures cannot be determined from the listed findings. The vehicle identification data describes this Kona as a front-wheel-drive, battery-electric SUV with an automatic single-speed transmission, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea. The decoded information identifies the trim as SEL and lists 17-inch wheels, LED low-beam headlamps, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system as standard equipment. A displayed “Refill inverter coolant” warning and orange coolant-system icon are reported. This confirms that a warning was shown, but does not establish its underlying cause or the mechanical condition of the inverter cooling system. The warning should be diagnosed before purchase, including inspection for leaks, coolant level and condition, pump or valve faults, and related electrical-system issues. NHTSA recall campaign 21V301000 concerns certain 2019–2021 Kona vehicles equipped with 2.0L Nu MPI engines because improperly heat-treated piston oil rings may cause engine damage, stalling, or an oil-related fire risk. The decoded vehicle is identified as battery-electric rather than equipped with a 2.0L engine, so recall applicability should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
