Hyundai recalled certain 2025 IONIQ 5 vehicles on November 4, 2025, due to braking software issues. The integrated electronic brake and vehicle control unit may cause reduced braking performance and unintended acceleration. Owners must refrain from using left-foot braking or N e-shift features until repairs are completed.
Reduced braking performance and unexpected, continued acceleration increase the risk of a crash.
Owners are advised not to use the LFB or N e-Shift features until the remedy has been performed. The IEB and VCU software will be updated over-the-air (OTA) or by a dealer, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 25, 2025. This recall replaces NHTSA recall number 25V-065. Vehicles repaired under the previous 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 277.
The recall affects 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 "N" vehicles with left-foot braking and N e-shift features. The vehicles were sold at various Hyundai dealers and retail locations from November 2025. Specific pricing was not mentioned.
The software issue may lead to decreased braking performance when left-foot braking is activated. This can result in the vehicle continuing to accelerate unexpectedly after the accelerator pedal is released.
There have been no reported injuries or crashes associated with this defect, but the hazard level is considered high.
Owners should stop using the left-foot braking and N e-shift features. The integrated electronic brake and vehicle control unit software will be updated either over-the-air or by a dealer at no charge.
