2020 HYUNDAI SONATA SEL

The auction record lists this 2020 Hyundai Sonata as having a salvage title, with “rear end” recorded as the primary damage. The supplied photo assessment states that the visible rear bumper damage supports the rear-end claim, but substantial front-end damage is also present; therefore, the photos do not establish the rear end as the sole or primary damage area. At the front left, the headlamp assembly is severely damaged, with the outer lens fractured or missing and internal components exposed and displaced. The surrounding fender is moderately bent and creased along the headlamp edge and above the wheel arch. The front-left bumper corner has moderate abrasion, scuffing, and deformation. At the rear, a broad lower section of the bumper cover is missing, exposing internal bumper-area components and mounting structures. The lower-right rear bumper corner has a jagged opening with torn and displaced plastic. Light surface scuffing and scraping are also visible on the lower center of the trunk lid. The findings provided do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s mechanical, structural, electrical, or safety systems, so a comprehensive physical inspection is recommended before purchase. The VIN decodes as a U.S.-built 2020 Hyundai Sonata SEL sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.5-liter gasoline GDI Theta III engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. NHTSA recall records list four campaigns for this make, model, and model year. They concern Remote Smart Parking Assist software that may fail to prevent vehicle movement after a system malfunction (20V213000), incorrect tire-size information on the tire-pressure label and in the owner’s manual for certain production dates (20V122000), a trunk-latch issue that may prevent opening the trunk from inside (22V196000), and a fuel-tank check-valve issue that may allow fuel-tank damage and leakage (25V796000). Recall completion and applicability to this specific vehicle should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
