Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Ioniq HEV and Ionic PHV vehicles previously recalled under recall number 18V-704. The Power Relay Assembly (PRA) located underneath the rear seat may overheat.
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Ioniq electric vehicles. An unstable electrical ground may cause the vehicle to enter a fail-safe mode with reduced acceleration and power. In certain conditions while in fail-safe mode, the vehicle may accelerate after the gas pedal is released.
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Kona Electric and 2020 Ioniq Electric vehicles. The lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery may short-circuit.
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2019 Ioniq Hybrid and 2020 Elantra vehicles. The right-side rear wheel lug nuts may have been insufficiently tightened, allowing the wheel to detach from the vehicle.
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid and 2018 Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid vehicles. The Main Relay within the Power Relay Assembly (PRA) may have inadequate connections between its contacts, causing increased electrical resistance.
Component that failed: The charging inlet locking actuator (Hyundai: "charging connector lock/unlock actuator") on my 2019 Hyundai IONIQ Plug-In Hybrid. It locks the connector to the inlet. The failed actuator is STILL INSTALLED and available for inspection at a dealership. Safety risk: Hyundai TSB #18-BE-018 requires technicians to disconnect the high-voltage safety plug, wait 5 minutes for capacitor discharge, and wear insulated gloves because the area contains "high voltage components." A locked actuator forces owners to pry at an energized connector—shock hazard. A partially engaged connection risks arcing and fire. Charging failure also depletes the traction battery, cutting power available for merging and evasive maneuvers. Incident: Without warning, the connector would not release. It took ~30 minutes to free the charger. I nearly had to drive with the charger connected, feeding the cord through my driver's window. No warning lamps appeared before or during the failure. Confirmed by dealer: Yes. Diagnosed by [XXX] Hyundai on XXX, invoice XXX. Inspections: Dealer only. No police report, insurance claim, or known HMA engineering inspection. Manufacturer knowledge: Hyundai issued TSB #18-BE-018 in Nov 2018, while 2019 models were being sold, acknowledging IONIQ PHEVs "may experience a charging connector lock/unlock actuator malfunction," with warranty coding (Op Code 91999R00; Nature Cause I14 ZZ3). Hyundai said my VIN fell outside the recall population under undisclosed criteria, and covers the part only 5yr/60k, not the 10yr/100k Hybrid System Warranty. Requested action: (1) Evaluate whether this is a safety defect under 49 U.S.C. Ch. 301. (2) Obtain Hyundai's claim volume for Op Code 91999R00/I14 ZZ3 by model year, plant, build range, plus injury/fire reports. (3) Confirm whether a recall covers this component and publish its scope. (4) Assess whether Hyundai's exclusion of my VIN was adequately supported. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

After the Dealership, Michigan City Hyundai (MCH), performed part of the needed repairs, I became aware of what could/would have been a fire hazard (as evidenced by brownish/black heat spots, on the metal cover of the hybrid battery, under the rear seat. To maintain its recall-denial, MCH blames the hybrid starter generator (HSG) for the damage to the hybrid battery. The noted heat-spots prove otherwise - the power relay assembly (the subject of one of the recalls related to my car), and its malfunction and consequent generation of excessive heat, is what caused severe damage to the hybrid battery. The other failed component (hybrid system generator - HSG) is directly related to the hybrid clutch actuator (HCA), which is the subject of the 2nd recall affecting my car. The malfunction of the HCA is what damaged the HSG. The NHTSA database shows no open recall affecting my car VIN, is because dealer IL093 (who sold me the car around April 2025), logged both recall remedies as applied in Hyundai's internal database. The selling dealer (IL093), which claims to have completed the Power Relay Assembly and Hydraulic Clutch Actuator recalls on my vehicle, was under the ownership of Leader Automotive Group during the timeline of the alleged repairs and my April 2025 purchase. Leader Automotive Group was sued and penalized $20 million by the FTC and the State of Illinois for systematic consumer fraud, deceptive practices, and concealing voided manufacturer warranties. Because the physical components have now suffered the exact catastrophic failures these recalls were designed to prevent, there is a high probability that dealer IL093 fraudulently logged these recall remedies as completed without physically performing the work. I request that the NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation immediately audit IL093's repair logs for this VIN in light of the FTC enforcement action.

The engine coolant can leak into the exhaust because air a known design flaw. When the the engine turns on after being in electric mode the coolant pump starts and pushes it out the exhaust causing a sudden over heating of the engine. This causes the car to stall and can be very dangerous at freeway speeds.

The Auto Hold and EPB orange warning lights have been a recurring problem with our 2022 Hyundai Ioniq. We first noticed the car exhibit a jerky/jolting hesitation after accelerating from a complete stop which was reported to the dealership with confirmed paperwork at ~52K miles. The Auto Hold and EPB orange warning lights have been documented via photographs and video on been active at mileage ~58K and 72K, but the dealership could not reproduce (or scan the codes?) the warning light signature or jerking motion. Additionally, the car indicated that is was trying to either activate or deactivate the Auto Hold function even when the car was in motion and is never turned utilized by any driver of the vehicle. Even though this problem was described as hazardous and may cause the brakes to lock leading to an accident. Finally at ~88K miles the dealership was capable of properly diagnosing the problem and replaced the left rear caliper with CPB motor.
