What this recall means for you
Certain 2025 Ioniq 5 N vehicles with the left-foot braking feature may have software in the integrated electronic brake and vehicle control unit that can reduce braking performance when that feature is activated. Reduced braking can increase the distance needed to stop, which raises the risk of a crash.
If you have not yet received the recall remedy, do not use the left-foot braking feature until the updated software has been installed. If you already had the earlier remedy, do not use the 'N' E-shift feature until the new remedy is completed, since the earlier repair must be redone under this update. Dealers will update the software free of charge.
Owner notification letters were mailed March 12, 2025. For help, contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 and reference Hyundai recall number 275. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
