2020 HYUNDAI SONATA Limited

This 2020 Hyundai Sonata is listed with a salvage collision title, and the auction records identify the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified auction claim and is consistent with collision damage concentrated at the front-left corner. The front-left area has sustained substantial damage. The front-left fender is heavily crushed and folded around the wheel opening. The left headlamp assembly is missing, leaving internal components exposed. The front bumper cover, grille, and surrounding fascia are broken, displaced, and partially absent, with jagged plastic sections and separated lower edges. Wiring and electrical connectors are visibly hanging below the damaged left side of the bumper. The left side of the bumper and grille also have irregular openings and exposed components. The extent of the visible damage indicates that the vehicle will require significant front-end repairs. The findings do not establish the condition of hidden structural components, suspension, steering, cooling systems, sensors, airbag systems, or other mechanical and electrical components. A comprehensive physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including verification of the repair scope and testing of all exposed wiring and front-end systems. Factory data identifies the vehicle as a front-wheel-drive sedan built in the United States. It has a gasoline 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, and a listed Limited trim. NHTSA records list four recalls for this make, model, and year: a Remote Smart Parking Assist software issue that may allow unintended vehicle movement; incorrect tire-size information on the tire-pressure label and in the owner’s manual; a trunk-latch issue that may prevent the interior trunk release from operating; and a fuel-system check-valve issue that may allow the fuel tank to contact hot exhaust components and potentially leak. Recall completion status for this specific vehicle should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer.
