Cash For Cars BC has been buying used vehicles across the Lower Mainland since 1998. And because we purchase such a high volume of vehicles throughout Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and Vancouver Island, we know which vehicles are more prone to issues than others.

Unfortunately, the Ioniq 5 has been a handful for Hyundai this year with multiple recalls being issued after many consumers reports about various issues that compromise handling, functionality, and of course, safety.

5. Malfunctioning batteries resulting in fire

There are various other issues that have been reported by consumers across Canada and the US. However, the ones list above are the only ones where a recall has been issued to protect consumer safety.

What’s the Result of Each Issued Recall?

Not every recall that gets issued by an automaker results in catastrophic failure or damage. However, many of them pose to potential for such things, and in turn, that affects the driver’s safety.

Below we’ve listed what the potential risks are from some of the specific Hyundai Ioniq 5 recalls, and what will happen if you fail to get them repaired by a Hyundai dealership (remember, recall repairs are always free of charge).

1. Malfunctioning ICCU

According to Transport Canada and various consumer reports, the ICCU recall is an important one to address promptly.

The malfunctions associated with the ICCU pose a serious safety risk. It greatly affects the functionality of the left-foot braking feature, and the N-e shift features.

Ioniq owners are advised not to use these features until the problem has been rectified. Failing to address the known issue can result in:

• Overheating
• System disruption (impacting your ability to use door locks and windows)
• Vehicle will enter limp mode and barely be drivable
• Loss of power steering and ABS braking system

As you can see, there is a plethora of things that can go really wrong if you don’t get your Hyundai assessed and repaired by a registered Hyundai dealer.

2. Malfunctioning Bus Bar

According to the manufacturer, an improperly installed bus bar on the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is one of the latest issues to be on the lookout for.

Not only can a faulty bus bar cause electrical problems throughout your vehicle, but it can also cause catastrophic failure to your entire hybrid battery system. Leaving your vehicle nothing more than a VERY expensive paper weight.

What Does a Bus Bar Do on a Car?

A bus bar, although holding an odd name, is a metal strip that conducts electricity and helps distribute it across various electrical circuits and platforms. Essentially, it operates like the valves on a heart.

It sends power to where it’s needed most, much like our heart pumps blood where it’s needed most. So, it’s easy to see why if a bus bar were to malfunction on your vehicle, how detrimental it could be.

At Cash For Cars BC, we see vehicles with mechanical issues every single day. However, that doesn’t stop us from paying the MOST cash for cars with mechanical or electrical issues.

Just give us a call and find out what your vehicle might be worth (short circuits and all!). NOBODY Pays More!

3. Software Issues

As we know, many newer vehicles rely on a central computer to keep our vehicles running optimally. However, a hybrid or EV relies more heavily on a CPU than traditional gasoline vehicles.

And although many of the running systems can be affected by a failing CPU, there are tons of other issues that can arise when software doesn’t update, or if it wasn’t installed properly to begin with.

What might seem like a minor issue overall, actually poses a huge safety risk. The CPU and its software is essentially the brain of a hybrid. And if the brain isn’t working, it can’t send appropriate signals to allow it to run safely.

Braking systems, lane assist features, collision avoidance controls, and everything in between can be impacted when the software isn’t correct. If your Hyundai has been recalled for any software issues, get it checked out as soon as possible.

4. Rear Airbag Malfunction

Airbags are one of those things that you don’t notice until they are needed. So, naturally, if they are malfunctioning, or have the potential to, you need to get it repaired as soon as you can. Because you’ll only know if your vehicle is one of the unlucky ones when you sustain impact with passengers in the back seat. Which could be the case with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 which has malfunctioning rear passenger airbags.

Typically, with this recall, an indicator light will come on letting you know that the passenger airbags are “off”, even when passengers are in the appropriate seats.

However, regardless of whether or not the warning light comes on, if your VIN is one of the ones listed in the recall, get your vehicle to a Hyundai dealership for prompt repair.

5. Malfunctioning High-Voltage Battery

Additionally, the recall pertaining to the Ioniq 5’s high-voltage batteries has resulted in fires on at least 10 vehicles according to consumer reports.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 owners are advised to park their vehicles outside until their vehicle has been repaired because the risk of fire is so high. Not only that, but a fire on an EV is completely different than a fire on a gasoline powered vehicle.

Gasoline powered vehicles have far less electrical components than an electric vehicle. And unlike gas vehicle fires that will eventually go out due to a lack of fuel, electrical fires are considerably harder to put out.

If your vehicle is one of the ones with a compromised high voltage battery, get it serviced ASAP to ensure that an EV fire isn’t in your near future.

Which Hyundai Vehicles Are Affected?

Because automakers try to keep their overhead costs low, they often use similar, if not identical, engineering across several different vehicle models in their line-up.

Which means that when a particular vehicle model is recalled, it’s often not the only one that is affected.
