This page covers 3 recalls and NHTSA crash-test ratings for the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5.
The 2022 to 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 received an overall rating of 5 out of 5 stars in NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program for US-market vehicles. The vehicle earned 4 stars in frontal crash protection and 5 stars in side crash protection. In rollover resistance testing, the Ioniq 5 received 5 stars, and it also achieved 5 stars in the side pole crash test. NHTSA applies these ratings across model years until a redesign occurs, so this assessment covers the entire 2022 to 2024 range.
5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a high-voltage battery defect where misaligned internal electrodes can cause the battery to catch fire while the vehicle is parked or in motion.
The other two recalls both involve the same charging control unit, which can fail and stop replenishing the 12-volt battery that keeps the car's core systems running. When that battery drains completely, the vehicle can lose drive power without warning, leaving the driver without propulsion in traffic. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why two separate remedy campaigns address this same underlying failure.
