What this recall means for you
Certain 2025 Ioniq 5 vehicles may have an incorrect headlight aim label on the right-side headlight. As a result, the headlight can be improperly aimed, so the road may not be lit adequately. The vehicles also do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 for lighting equipment.
Poor headlight aim reduces your ability to see the road ahead, especially at night or in bad weather, which raises the risk of a crash. Hyundai is mailing owners a corrected label along with inspection and installation instructions.
The repair is free. Bring your vehicle to an authorized Hyundai dealer for the fix, and you can contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 with recall number 279. You can also check your VIN for any open recalls on your vehicle.
