2021 HYUNDAI VENUE SE

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END primary-damage code; however, the salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from photos. The documented damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The left section of the front bumper cover is missing, exposing internal brackets, wiring, and other components. The left front fender and adjacent wheel-arch area are severely deformed, with torn and displaced body material. The left front portion of the hood has creasing and a depressed area near the damaged corner. The lower lamp assembly at the left front appears to be missing, leaving wiring and mounting components exposed. A long lower bumper or air-dam section is displaced and hanging downward. Additional plastic trim and grille-adjacent pieces on the left side are broken or missing, with internal mounting structures visible. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2021 Hyundai Venue SE, classified as a wagon and manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea. It has front-wheel drive, a 1.6-liter gasoline Gamma II engine, and a continuously variable transmission. The decoded vehicle equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rear-visibility system. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year, both involving the front seat-belt pretensioners. The pretensioners may project metal fragments into the vehicle if they deploy in a crash. The listed remedy is to secure the pretensioners with caps, free of charge. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN, particularly because the later recall replaces and expands the earlier Venue recall.
