2021 HYUNDAI SONATA SEL Plus

This 2021 Hyundai Sonata is listed with a salvage certificate of title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports this classification. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front right bumper cover has a large missing section with torn, irregular edges and exposed internal components. The remaining bumper surface is heavily scraped and abraded, and the lower front edge of the right fender has a broken opening around the bumper junction. Several central and lower grille elements are broken, displaced, or missing. The leading edge of the hood also has multiple areas of chipped or missing white paint. A frontal airbag is visibly deployed from the steering wheel, with additional airbag material visible below the steering column. The restraint system, steering area, front-end structure, cooling and lighting components, sensors, and any other collision-related systems should be professionally inspected before repair or road use. Mechanical, electrical, and structural condition cannot be determined from the provided findings. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a left-hand-drive, front-wheel-drive 2021 Hyundai Sonata SEL Plus sedan built in the United States. It is equipped with a gasoline 1.6-liter T-GDI Gamma II turbocharged engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. NHTSA recall records provided for the 2021 Sonata include a windshield-bonding recall, a transmission fail-safe and loss-of-drive-power recall, and a fuel-tank check-valve recall. The listed remedies involve inspection, repair or replacement, and software updates as applicable. A separate fuel-pipe recall applies to certain vehicles with 2.5-liter turbocharged engines; this vehicle is decoded with a 1.6-liter engine, so applicability should be confirmed by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer. Recall completion status is not provided.
