Powertrain

Issue:
On certain Ioniq EV models, the vehicle could accelerate after the accelerator pedal is released.
Note: This problem can only happen under certain conditions after the vehicle enters "fail-safe" mode.
Safety Risk:
A vehicle that continues to accelerate could create the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Hyundai will notify owners by mail and instruct you bring your vehicle to a dealer to update the electric power control unit (EPCU) software. The dealer will also add additional ground wiring between the drive motor/gear assembly and frame.
Wheels
2019-10-07 · campaign 2019-498 · 89 vehicles
Issue:
On certain cars, the wheel lug nuts were not properly tightened during assembly. This could cause the nuts to loosen or fall off, and could result in a wheel separating from the car. Note: For the Ioniq model, this recall only involves the Ioniq PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) version.
Safety Risk:
A wheel separation could increase the risk of a crash. A wheel that detaches from a vehicle could create a hazard for other drivers and nearby people.
Corrective Actions:
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their car to a dealer to ensure the front and rear wheel nuts are properly tightened.
