Hyundai Ioniq 5 battery cells can start a fire critical

Reported 2026-07-02 · Campaign 26V432000 · Model years: 2023, 2024

Inside the big battery that powers your Ioniq 5, some of the cells were built with parts that do not line up correctly. Over time that flaw can start a fire, whether the car is parked or being driven. Until a dealer replaces the battery, Hyundai says to park outdoors and away from buildings, and to charge the car only to 80 percent instead of full. The new battery costs you nothing. Owner letters are due to go out August 31, 2026.

⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).

Hyundai Ioniq 5 rear suspension bolts may fall out critical

Reported 2026-05-19 · Campaign 26V314000 · Model years: 2025

The bolts and nuts that hold the rear suspension together on some 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 2026 Ioniq 9 vehicles can work loose and come out. The suspension is what attaches the rear wheels to the car and keeps them lined up correctly. If those fasteners fall out, a rear wheel can shift out of position and the driver can lose control of the car. This can happen suddenly, with little or no warning beforehand.

Hyundai IONIQ 5 battery short circuit creates fire risk critical

Reported 2026-02-06 · Campaign 26V068000 · Model years: 2025

A part inside the high-voltage battery pack, called a bus bar, may not have been tightened properly. A loose connection there can cause an electrical short, and Hyundai says that raises the risk of a fire. A dealer will check the bus bar bolts and tighten them, and will replace the entire battery pack if that turns out to be necessary. The work is free. Hyundai mailed owner letters on April 3, 2026, and VINs became searchable February 7, 2026.

Hyundai IONIQ 5 front seat belt retractors may be loose medium

Reported 2025-11-18 · Campaign 25V797000 · Model years: 2025

The retractor is the spool hidden in the pillar beside your seat that lets the seat belt pull out and winds it back in. On some 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 vehicles, the driver and front passenger retractors may not be fastened down securely. A retractor that is loose may not lock and hold you in place during a crash, so the belt would not protect you the way it is designed to. Hyundai dealers check and secure them free.

Hyundai IONIQ 5 rear suspension bolts improperly tightened high

Reported 2025-09-12 · Campaign 25V605000 · Model years: 2025

On some 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 electric vehicles, bolts that hold the rear suspension alignment in place may not have been tightened properly at the factory. If those bolts are loose, the rear wheels can shift out of position and the car can lose stability — meaning it may not track or handle the way you expect. The dealer will replace the bolts, realign the wheels, and replace the tires if they were worn unevenly.

Hyundai IONIQ 5 battery connection may short and burn critical

Reported 2025-07-24 · Campaign 25V482000 · Model years: 2025

Inside the big battery that powers the car, a metal connector called a bus bar may not have been tightened enough. A loose connection can cause an electrical short, and a short in the battery can start a fire. Until the car is repaired, Hyundai says to park it outside and away from buildings. A dealer will inspect the battery system and fix whatever needs fixing at no cost to you.

⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).

Hyundai IONIQ 5 headlights may be aimed wrong medium

Reported 2025-06-03 · Campaign 25V373000 · Model years: 2025

Certain 2025 IONIQ 5 vehicles have the wrong headlight aim label on the right-side headlight. That label is used to set the headlight angle, so the headlights may end up pointed incorrectly. Poorly aimed headlights do not light up the road properly, making it harder to see at night. Because of the wrong label, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard for lamps and reflectors. Hyundai will mail owners a corrected label with instructions.

Hyundai IONIQ 5 N braking and acceleration software fault critical

Reported 2025-04-11 · Campaign 25V235000 · Model years: 2025

Certain 2025 IONIQ 5 "N" vehicles with the left-foot braking and N e-shift features have a software problem. When left-foot braking is turned on, the brakes may not work as well as they should. Also, with N e-shift engaged, the vehicle may keep speeding up even after you take your foot off the accelerator. Hyundai says not to use either feature until the fix is done. The braking and vehicle control software will be updated over the air or at a dealer.

Hyundai IONIQ 5 rear side airbag may not deploy medium

Reported 2025-02-06 · Campaign 25V064000 · Model years: 2025

Certain 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 electric vehicles may have a break in the wiring harness that runs along the rear floor. That wiring carries the signal to the rear side airbag, so if the circuit is broken, the airbag that protects people in the back seat may not inflate the way it is supposed to in a crash. Nothing about how the vehicle drives or charges is affected. A dealer will inspect the rear floor wiring and replace it if needed, at no cost.

Hyundai IONIQ 5 N braking weakens with left-foot braking high

Reported 2025-02-06 · Campaign 25V065000 · Model years: 2025

Certain 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 "N" vehicles have a left-foot braking feature, and a software problem in the brake and vehicle control computers can weaken braking when that feature is turned on. Weaker brakes mean the car takes longer to stop. Until the fix is done, Hyundai says do not use the left-foot braking feature; if you already had the earlier repair, also do not use the "N" e-shift feature. A dealer will update the software for free. This recall has been replaced by recall 25V-235, and even already-repaired vehicles need the new fix.

Hyundai and Genesis EVs can lose power from charging unit high

Reported 2024-11-18 · Campaign 24V868000 · Model years: 2022, 2023, 2024

A unit that keeps the small 12-volt battery topped up can be damaged and stop working. When that battery runs down, the car can lose drive power and stop moving, which could leave you stranded or cause a crash. Dealers will check the unit and its fuse, replace them if needed, and update the software, all free. If your vehicle was already fixed under the earlier 2024 recall, it still needs this new repair.

Hyundai IONIQ and Genesis EVs may lose drive power high

Reported 2024-03-15 · Campaign 24V204000 · Model years: 2022, 2023, 2024

Your vehicle has a part called the Integrated Charging Control Unit, which keeps the small 12-volt battery charged while you drive. Hyundai found this unit can be damaged and stop charging that battery. If that happens, the car can lose power to the wheels while you are driving. A dealer will check the unit and its fuse, replace them if needed, and update the software. Hyundai later issued a newer fix, so even cars already repaired need to go back.

Hyundai IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, Genesis GV60: driveshaft can break high

Reported 2024-02-01 · Campaign 24V065000 · Model years: 2023

The shaft that sends power to the rear wheels of these electric vehicles may not have been heat-treated correctly when it was made. A shaft made this way can break while the car is under load, and the car then loses drive power. Losing power in traffic, on a hill, or while merging onto a highway can lead to a crash. Hyundai mailed owner letters on March 29, 2024. A dealer will replace the rear inner driveshaft at no cost.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 may roll away after parking high

Reported 2022-05-11 · Campaign 22V324000 · Model years: 2022

On certain 2022 Ioniq 5 vehicles, a software error in the unit that controls the gear shifter can release the parking mechanism on its own. If that happens, the vehicle can roll away after you have parked it. Hyundai tells drivers to use the electronic parking brake every time they park until the repair is done. A dealer will update the shifter control unit software. Owner letters were mailed in July 2022 and the fix is free.
