2021 HYUNDAI SONATA SEL Plus

The vehicle is listed with a “CERT OF TITLE SLVG REBUILDABLE” status, with “FRONT END” recorded as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification through extensive front-end component loss and hood deformation. The salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from photos alone. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is heavily crushed and folded across its front and center sections, with multiple deep creases and a substantially deformed, uneven leading edge. The front bumper cover, grille, outer fascia, and associated trim are missing, exposing the reinforcement bar, radiator surfaces, brackets, wiring, and other internal components. Both headlamp assemblies are absent, and the mounting areas remain exposed. The front-left corner has irregular deformation around the headlamp opening and adjacent body panels. The front-right fender is missing, exposing the wheel-well area, suspension components, wiring, and inner body structure. Additional detached bumper, grille, trim, and plastic fascia pieces are visible beside the vehicle. The provided findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, suspension, steering, airbags, structural members, or other components not visible in the recorded views. A comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic assessment will be necessary before purchase or repair. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Hyundai Sonata SEL Plus sedan with front-wheel drive, a turbocharged 1.6-liter gasoline engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. NHTSA recall records supplied for the 2021 Sonata include campaigns concerning windshield bonding, automatic-transmission fail-safe operation, and fuel-system components. One fuel-system recall specifically covers vehicles equipped with 2.5-liter turbocharged engines, whereas the decoded vehicle has a 1.6-liter engine, so its applicability to this VIN is not established here. The supplied records also include a 2025 fuel-tank recall for certain 2020–2023 Sonatas. Recall completion and VIN-specific applicability should be verified with Hyundai or NHTSA before operation.
