Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: Brake issue due to software error

14/07/2025

Hyundai is recalling 4,580 Ioniq 5 N vehicles manufactured between 13 March 2023 and 11 December 2024 to authorized workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that if the ‘Left Foot Braking’ function is activated, faulty software may result in reduced braking performance due to depressurisation of the ABS system.

In an authorized workshop, the associated IEB and VCU software will be updated.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “15208R“. The internal manufacturer code is “51D105“.
