Diagnosed with crank/rod knock requiring long block replacement. This is the exact failure progression documented in NHTSA Recall 21V301 (Hyundai Recall 203): defective piston oil rings causing cylinder bore scuffing, accelerated oil consumption, connecting rod bearing failure, and engine block damage. Coverage was denied solely due to mileage \u2014 2,061 miles beyond the 150,000-mile threshold.  I am also reporting a critical discrepancy: a VIN search on NHTSA's website shows zero open or unrepaired recalls on this vehicle, despite the following facts:  1. This is a 2019 Elantra with a 2.0L Nu MPI engine \u2014 the exact population covered by 21V301. 2. The vehicle experienced the exact failure mode 21V301 was issued to address. 3. The dealership repair order references TSB 25-01-054H (tied directly to Recall 203) and performed an ECM software update under that bulletin during this visit.  It is unclear whether this VIN was improperly excluded from the recall population, or whether the recall was marked remediated based solely on the software update \u2014 despite the engine already having suffered catastrophic internal damage. Either outcome warrants investigation.  I am requesting NHTSA examine whether this VIN should have been included in 21V301, and whether Hyundai's practice of applying a software update to an already-failed engine and closing the recall is consistent with the intent of this safety recall.  Repair estimate: $9,245.58. Vehicle is undrivable.
