The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “REAR END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage code, citing extensive deformation, missing bumper components, detached rear lamps, and exposed rear components. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage across the full rear section. The left rear corner is extensively crushed, with torn and displaced metal around the tail-lamp opening. Inner components and wiring are exposed, and the rear bumper cover is missing. The right rear corner is also extensively deformed, with exterior panel displacement or loss around the tail-lamp opening and exposed internal components and wiring. The right rear lamp assembly is absent. The lower rear liftgate is visibly dented and creased, with deformation extending into the left rear corner. The rear bumper cover, associated trim, and bumper-related components are missing or detached, while two red rear lamp assemblies and a wiring harness are shown detached outside the vehicle. Repair assessment should include the rear body structure, liftgate, bumper mounting areas, lamp mounting points, wiring, sensors, and any components behind the damaged panels. The provided findings do not establish the condition of the vehicle’s mechanical systems, alignment, safety systems, or hidden structural components.

The transmission type is not specified in the provided decoding data. Four NHTSA recall records are listed for this model and year. Campaign 23V556000 concerns an incorrectly printed tire and loading information label that may provide confusing spare-tire information. Campaign 23V526000 concerns potentially damaged electrical components in the Idle Stop & Go oil-pump controller, which may overheat and increase fire risk. Campaign 24V412000 concerns a possible circuit-board short in the electric power steering system that could result in loss of steering assist. Campaign 25V893000 applies to certain vehicles equipped with an optional Mobis tow-hitch wiring harness; incorrect installation may allow moisture intrusion, potentially causing trailer-light failure or an electrical short. Recall completion and applicability should be verified with Hyundai or NHTSA before purchase.
