A recall does not mean your car is affected. Check the market, build date and VIN with the manufacturer.
- Engine / equipment
- Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric
- Period mentioned
- 2025–2027 (US model years), built from 12/11/2024 to 1/10/2026
- Symptoms
- The fault warning light comes on and the car may reduce power or limit operation if you keep driving.
- Possible cause described
- Water gets into the high-voltage battery system and the BMS wrongly diagnoses an overtemperature, which triggers the fail-safe mode for no reason. Hyundai updates the BMS software (bulletin 26-01-082H, campaign LA42).
- Check for the garage
- Ask the dealer to check whether campaign LA42 or an equivalent one is outstanding and to inspect the battery for water ingress.
- Cost cited in the source
- No verified estimate; check whether the free recall remedy remains outstanding for the VIN.A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
