Buying a used 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5? Check these 4 recalls first
This year adds a critical battery cell fire recall that carries a park-outside advisory, on top of a driveshaft that can break and the two power-loss recalls — drive system and charging unit — shared with other IONIQ years. Owners filed 386 unverified complaints with NHTSA, including 11 crashes and 3 fires; 271 were electrical system, followed by power train and propulsion, closely tracking the recalled components.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm the battery cell fire recall repair is complete, in writing
- Ask whether the driveshaft and both power-loss recalls were done
- Look for prior high-voltage battery or charging repairs in service history
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
