19 recalls across 5 model years
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 has 19 recalls covering 2022 through 2026 model years, with the most serious recent issues including a loose high-voltage battery bus bar on 2025-2026 vehicles that can cause an electrical short and fire.
The 2025 and 2026 model years carry the heaviest recall load. Beyond the battery fire risk, rear suspension fasteners on 2025 models can loosen and detach, causing a loss of vehicle control. Separately from that, rear suspension alignment bolts on certain 2025 vehicles may not have been properly tightened, which can cause the stability control system to stop working. The 2025 IONIQ 5 N, which is equipped with a left-foot braking feature, has a software problem in the integrated electronic brake that reduces braking performance and can allow the vehicle to continue accelerating unexpectedly; an earlier software repair for this issue did not fully resolve the problem on some vehicles, requiring a second fix. On 2025 models, front seatbelt retractors for the driver and passenger may not be securely fastened, which can prevent them from functioning properly in a crash, and a wiring fault in the rear floor harness can prevent the rear side airbags from deploying. The 2026 model year adds an instrument panel software error that can cause the display to go blank, taking the speedometer and warning lights with it.
The 2022 through 2024 model years share a recurring issue with the integrated charging control unit, which can degrade over time and stop charging the 12-volt battery. When that happens, the vehicle can enter a reduced power mode and eventually lose drive power entirely. A warning light and messages will appear before power is lost. The 2022 model year has two additional issues: a software error in the shifter control unit can disengage the parking mechanism and allow the vehicle to roll away, and the parking pawl can briefly disengage just after the vehicle is parked and shut off, allowing sudden movement if the parking brake is not set.
On 2023 models, the rear inner driveshaft can break under load and cause an abrupt loss of drive power.
The 2025 model year also has a compliance recall for an incorrect headlight aim label on the right side, which can result in poorly aimed headlights and reduced road illumination at night.
