More than 33,000 owners of the electrically powered Hyundai Ioniq and 4,500 Tucson SUVs will have to head to dealerships.
According to Rapex Alert System report A12/00069/22, the reason for the recall, internally coded “11D138“, is the possible entry into “fail-safe” mode, causing the EV Ready lamp to flash, accompanied by reduced acceleration and overall power output. Vehicles manufactured between January 2016 and June 2019 are affected.
However, a spokesperson for Hyundai Motor Deutschland GmbH told kfz-rueckrufe.de that customer complaints about insufficient or reduced braking performance are the reason for the upcoming software update and the installation of an additional ground cable. The problem arises due to insufficient recuperation when the vehicle is decelerating.

Brake calipers on the Tucson
The Korean company’s German headquarters has not yet released details regarding other Hyundai’s recall. Since mid-December, Rapex and the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) have warned of a “defect in the right rear brake calliper with limited brake function”. This defect affects the Hyundai Tucson, and the internal code is “11DC43“.
The affected SUVs were manufactured in the Czech Republic between October 21 and November 3 last year. Due to the limited production period, the number of affected vehicles is about 4,500.
