Buying a used 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5? Check these 9 recalls first
Nine recalls, four critical: two battery short-circuit fire risks (one with a park-outside advisory), rear suspension bolts that may fall out, and a braking and acceleration software fault on the IONIQ 5 N. Others cover loose front seat belt retractors, headlight aim, a rear side airbag, and N-specific brake weakening with left-foot braking. Of 296 unverified NHTSA complaints (3 crashes, no fires, 2 injuries), 225 were electrical system.
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.
- Ask if it is the N version — two recalls apply only to that model
- VIN-check all four critical recalls, including both battery campaigns
- Confirm rear suspension bolts and seat belt retractors were inspected
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
