History Behind the Recall
Hyundai Motor Company has issued a recall for the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N due to a critical issue with its Left-Foot Braking (LFB) feature. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that the software controlling the Integrated Electronic Brake (IEB) system may depressurize the anti-lock braking system during specific driving situations, leading to reduced braking performance and longer stopping distances.
The LFB feature, designed for track driving, allows drivers to apply the brake and accelerator simultaneously. However, during testing in June 2024, a crash occurred while the system was engaged. Hyundai subsequently investigated and recreated the issue in internal testing. The recall was officially filed in March 2025.
Which Models Are Affected
This recall affects 1,508 units of the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, built between December 18, 2023, and December 10, 2024. Only vehicles equipped with the LFB feature are impacted. No fires or injuries have been reported, although one crash during a test event has been linked to the issue.
What Owners Need To Do Next
Hyundai has developed a software update to correct the IEB system logic and reduce the risk of unintended ABS depressurization. Affected owners are advised not to use the LFB feature until the fix has been applied.
The software update will be performed free of charge at Hyundai dealerships. Owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed by April 7, 2025. For more information, Hyundai customers can contact Hyundai customer service or visit the NHTSA’s recall lookup tool.
How Hyundai Owners Can Take Back Control
While this recall has been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.
