What's recalled

Component: Exterior lighting (headlights)

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 vehicles. The right-side headlight may have an incorrect headlight aim label, which can result in improperly aimed headlights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The risk

Improperly aimed headlights can result in insufficient illumination of the road, decreasing the driver's visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy and its status

Hyundai will mail owners a corrected label with inspection and installation instructions. Owners may bring their vehicle to a dealer for the repair, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 15, 2025. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 279.

Status: NHTSA lists Jul 15, 2025 as the owner-notification date for this campaign.
