3 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Your Ioniq Hybrid has a power relay assembly located underneath the rear seat, which is part of the hybrid system. This relay may overheat. This recall covers the same relay problem as an earlier recall, but it now replaces that older recall. If your vehicle was already repaired under the earlier recall, it still needs the new repair described here.
On some 2019 Ioniq Hybrid and 2020 Elantra vehicles, the lug nuts on the right rear wheel may not have been tightened enough. This could allow the wheel to come loose and separate from the vehicle. Dealers will inspect the lug nuts and tighten them if necessary, free of charge.
Hyundai is recalling certain Ioniq Hybrid and Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid vehicles because the main relay inside the Power Relay Assembly may not connect properly, creating higher electrical resistance at the connection. Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the Power Relay Assembly for damage, replacing just the main relay if none is found, or replacing the entire assembly if damage is found, at no cost to the owner.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.
