The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 has two recalls, the more serious being a high-voltage battery defect where a loose electrical connection inside the battery pack can cause a short circuit and raise the risk of fire.
A separate software issue can cause the instrument panel display to go blank, taking the speedometer and warning lights with it, which reduces the driver's awareness of vehicle speed and system faults.
