Hyundai is recalling 1,589 of its 2025 IONIQ 5 "N" vehicles due to a software error in the electronic brake and vehicle control units. This defect may cause the brakes to perform poorly when using the left-foot braking technique or lead to unintended acceleration while the N e-shift feature is active and the pedal is released. Hyundai will provide a free software update for all affected vehicles, which can be performed over-the-air or at a dealership.
Reduced braking performance and unexpected, continued acceleration significantly increase the risk of a crash. Drivers using high-performance driving features like left-foot braking or N e-shift are most at risk of experiencing these dangerous software failures.
You have 2 options:
Software update for the Integrated Electronic Brake (IEB) and Vehicle Control Unit (VCU).
Precautionary usage restriction.
This recall (277) replaces NHTSA recall number 25V-065. Vehicles repaired under the previous recall must have the new remedy completed.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
