The problem
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 "N" vehicles equipped with a left-foot braking (LFB) feature. The integrated electronic brake (IEB) and vehicle control unit (VCU) software may cause reduced braking performance when LFB is activated.
The risk
Reduced braking performance can increase the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Owners who have not received the recall remedy are advised not to use the LFB feature until the updated remedy has been performed. Additionally, owners who have received the recall remedy are advised not to use the 'N' E-shift feature until the updated remedy has been performed. Dealers will update the IEB and VCU software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 12, 2025. This recall is replaced by NHTSA recall number 25V-235. Vehicles already repaired under this recall will need to have the new remedy completed. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 275.
