Hyundai IONIQ 5 recall due the defective brakes
What is the core issue identified in the safety alert?
The core issue is a software defect within the Integrated Electronic Brake (IEB) control system of certain Hyundai IONIQ 5 N vehicles. When the Left-Foot Braking (LFB) feature is engaged during specific driving maneuvers, this software can inadvertently trigger a depressurization of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).
2. What are the potential consequences of this defect for drivers?
The depressurization of the ABS leads to reduced braking performance. This means that the vehicle's stopping distances will be longer than a driver would anticipate, significantly increasing the risk of an accident and potential injuries.
3. Which specific vehicle model and production period are affected by this recall?
The recall affects the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N (NE N) passenger car, specifically model years 2023 and 2024. The production dates for the affected vehicles range from March 13, 2023, to December 11, 2024.
4. How can owners identify if their vehicle is part of this recall?
Owners can identify affected vehicles by checking their VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). The VINs included in this recall range from KMHKN818PRU000071 to KMHKR818XRU007329. The EC-type approval/model is e92018/85811054*05.
5. What is "Left-Foot Braking" and how does it relate to this issue?
Left-Foot Braking (LFB) is a driving technique where the driver uses their left foot to operate the brake pedal, typically while the right foot remains on the accelerator. This technique is often used in performance driving or certain racing scenarios. The issue described in the alert specifically arises when this LFB feature is "engaged" during particular maneuvers.
6. What regulatory standard does the product fail to comply with?
The product fails to comply with the "Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles" at the EU level.
7. What measure has been taken by the economic operators in response to this safety alert?
The economic operators, specifically the importer, have initiated a recall of the affected products from end users. This means that owners of the identified vehicles will be contacted to have the issue addressed.
8. From which country does the recalled product originate?
The recalled Hyundai IONIQ 5 N originates from the Republic of Korea.
