2017 HYUNDAI SONATA

The vehicle is listed with a Salvage title designation and “Front End” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. The visible front hood, grille, and bumper damage supports the stated Front End classification; however, the Salvage designation cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the available images alone. The most significant damage is concentrated at the front of the vehicle. The hood is severely buckled across its front portion, with pronounced creasing, a large torn opening, exposed material, and an irregular raised profile. There is also a large uneven gap above the headlamp area. The central grille insert is missing, leaving internal components visible. The front bumper and grille area are displaced, and a substantial lower bumper/fascia section is detached from the front corner and hanging outward and downward, with attachment areas exposed. Minor cosmetic damage is visible elsewhere, including multiple light linear scratches across the rear bumper cover and a small light-colored vertical scuff on the outer front door panel. No additional damage findings are provided. Mechanical, structural, lighting, cooling-system, airbag, suspension, and alignment conditions cannot be determined from these findings and should be inspected before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Hyundai Sonata sedan built in the United States by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing in Montgomery, Alabama. It is equipped with a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 187 horsepower; the drive type and transmission specifications were not provided. Three NHTSA safety recalls are listed for the 2017 Sonata: a driver frontal airbag inflator issue (campaign 16V956000), a turn-signal software issue that could activate the opposite direction (21V749000), and a trunk-latch issue that may prevent opening the trunk from inside (21V619000). Recall completion status for this vehicle should be confirmed with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
