What 399 owners told NHTSA about the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Bev

My 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 has experienced two ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failures, both completely immobilizing the vehicle. •First failure: November 2024 •Second failure: December 31, 2025 (confirmed by dealer 1/13/26) •Downtime: Over 45 days total •All recall work and maintenance were performed at the same Hyundai dealer, under active warranty, but the recall did not prevent the second failure. Safety Risk: These ICCU failures cause sudden loss of propulsion, leaving the vehicle stranded and creating a serious safety hazard. The second failure after recall indicates the repair is inadequate. Luckily mine failed at home before departing for an errand, but I am gravely concerned about others not as fortunate or for myself should the issue recur while I am traveling on a public road. Examples of this are reported online in a variety of forums. Widespread Issue: Thousands of owners report similar ICCU failures, often after recall repairs, on forums and social media. There is also ongoing Canadian litigation addressing the same defect. Requested Action: •Investigate repeated ICCU failures in Hyundai/Kia EVs •Evaluate the adequacy of recall repairs •Require Hyundai to implement a permanent fix •Take appropriate safety action to protect vehicle owners

3rd ICCU failure. Was Driving and went into limp turtle mode. Was in a dangerous area for it to happen and took a while to get to a safe place.

NHTSA ODI 11706407

Electric Drive System Inoperable, sustained an immediate failure upon engaging in Drive mode. Dashboard lit up with warning lights and messages. Luckily was just pulling out onto road when vehicle completely died. Tow service unable to start vehicle with jumper module. After being towed to dealer, was diagnosed with failed ICCU. The original ICCU was replaced previously in January 2025. Luckily was not underway on the road when it happened. There was no warning, no indication that there was any problem.

The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failed - the car is no longer capable of driving due to the lack of ability to charge the battery. I was able to get it to the repair center. The ICCU on this model can fail in multiple ways, which includes the vehicle becoming inoperable at highway speeds. The issue first started 2025/11/13. I tried multiple charging units. It flipped the breaker on my home charger and caused issues for a public charger.

Even after the recall service performed, the ICCU still failed 10 months later. DTC P1E011C is listed and will not charge. This is the same issue for the KIA EV9 and a TSB needs to be issued the same as the TSB 339 KIA did for the EV9.

Despite being up-to-date on recalls for this vehicle intended to address failures with the integrated charging control unit (ICCU), I still experienced an ICCU failure. I was driving along a surface road at approximately 40 mph for about 9 minutes when I heard a pop that sounded like cargo shifting in the rear cargo area. The vehicle then flashed a "Check EV System" warning but otherwise continued to operate normally. About 2 minutes later, there was a warning to stop vehicle and check power supply. After I pulled into a parking lot, I restarted the vehicle, but the errors persisted. I had the vehicle towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed as an ICCU failure. The vehicle was last charged ~15 hours before the failure on a level 2 charger at a peak rate of 6 kw. The vehicle was driven for about an hour after charging, sat overnight, before being driven when the failure occurred. The vehicle is primarily charged using level 1 and 2 charging, typically not exceeding 6.3 kw. Only a handful of times has level 2 charging rates exceeded 6.3 kw. The vehicle previously had the ICCU fail and replaced in 2023. The car is still at the dealership with no repair timeline.

Battery conditioning (heating) is required for fast charging at cold temperatures. The current method of enabling this function takes many steps including going into the EV setting to enable this option (since it automatically turns off when changing some settings in the Hyundai Bluelink App), then opening the navigation screen, looking at a map and scrolling though a long list of charging sites, picking the desired charger then starting the navigation and route to that site. This has to be to done while in route to a specific charger, normally this would be on the freeway 20-40 minutes before arrival at a fast charging station. It is a distraction while driving and is an issue with all Ioniq 5's sold from 2022-2024. Hyundai fixed this problem for the 2025 model year but have not do so on the previous cars at this time. Hyundai needs to add this 1 touch preconditioning option for safety and driver ease of use. I feel it should required on all EVs that offer battery conditioning. I have told them about this several times and not gotten a response and according to posts in various online communities many other have also reported this issue to Hyundai but they have taken no action.

I was driving along and got a warning to pull over due to low power. This is the third time this has occurred and is a well--documented failure point for this vehicle. I go in for "repair", things are checked and sometimes software is updated and then within months the problem returns. Very unsafe being stranded on a high speed, two land rural road at night. It has been flat bedded to the dealer and tomorrow I will here theri song and dance.

On numerous occasions starting May 2024 and continuing through July 2025, my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 displayed a “Check electric vehicle system” error upon starting the vehicle. In June 2024, Hyundai replaced the vehicle's VCM under warranty. In December 2024, the car wouldn't start. Hyundai replaced the 12v battery under warranty. In April 2025, the vehicle would not drive above 20 mph and warned of imminent shutdown while driving and Hyundai eventually replaced the ICCU under warranty. And in July 2025, Hyundai replaced the charging port under warranty. In all, the vehicle has been out service for 95 days while being repaired under warranty and most of those days I was not provided with a loaner vehicle. During the ICCU replacement, I was forced to rent a vehicle two separate times to get to work. Hyundai assured me that I would be reimbursed both for costs associated with the rental vehicles and the loss of use of my vehicle while under repairs, however despite multiple emails and conversations and having provided all requested documentation, I have received no reimbursement from Hyundai. Please assist me in obtaining reimbursement from Hyundai as soon as possible. Thank you!

The ICCU in the car failed. It immediately limited the speed of the vehicle to 25mph. There were no warnings, it happened all at once. I had to drive on the shoulder of the interstate to the next exit. Obviously, driving 25 on the shoulder while cars passed me at 65+ was not a safe situation.

On January 31, 2025, my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 experienced a failure with its ICCU resulting in the vehicle to lose all power and become unable to be turned on exposing myself and others to conditions where the vehicle could become a serious safety hazard due to its complete lack of power. This occurred despite the application of the NHTSA Hyundai Recall 272 only two weeks prior to this incident which was supposed to prevent this serious safety defect from occurring. The vehicle's 12 V battery was subsequently replaced allowing the vehicle to display a "Check electric vehicle system" warning. The dealership has since confirmed this as the ICCU defect. No warnings or other messages preceded this incident.

Hyundai Ioniq EV's have a continuing issue with a component called that "ICCU". The ICCU and high voltage fuse failed even after two recalls meant to monitor that problem and update the software. Luckily, mine failed in my driveway at home which did not put me in immediate risk. However, many people have this part fail while driving on roads and highways with zero warning. There have been two ICCU-related recalls that my car has had. When I started my vehicle I heard a "pop" and then the dashboard said "Check vehicle electrical system" and then shows the "limp mode" icon allowing to drive the vehicle at a slow speed to safety.

NHTSA ODI 11657228

ICCU and High Voltage Fuse blew suddenly and without warning on a 50 mph poorly lit road before sunrise. Vehicle immediately entered limp mode in traffic. Car could not make it safely back home before losing all power in the middle of the road (no warning was given that limp mode was about to fail it just stopped with all screens still on).The dead 12v battery (which the ICCU failed to recharge) made the car completely immobile once it turned off even for towing purposes. Put my safety as a driver and those on the road with me at risk with the vehicle drastically slowing down in the middle of travel with no way for others to pass me. Problem confirmed as the ICCU failure by dealer after finally restoring enough power to get the vehicle in neutral to be towed. The pending recall on this Vin is only pending because it is still sitting waiting for the replacement part a month later. no ETA on a resolution as Hyundai has stopped responding to requests for any information on timelines other than "eventually it will be replaced". All previous recalls for this problem were completed but were only software updates to "potential lower chances of occurrence". Issue is a very known Hardware issue and is very well documented online and local dealers are extremely familiar with it, but Hyundais solution is only to check if the part has already failed and a software update that does not fully prevent the failure in the future. Issue still occurred. no prior warning or behaviors were given

On [XXX] I was preparing to leave for work in the morning. I unplugged my Ioniq 5 from the home charger, entered the car, and started the vehicle. Immediately, the panel warning system stated “Check Electrical System.” Because I am familiar with the warnings that have been displayed related to ICCU failure, I called the dealership to schedule a service appointment (set for February 18, the following Tuesday). I drove the car to work for a meeting, then restarted the vehicle following the meeting and the same message appeared on the screen. I then drove the vehicle directly to Werner Hyundai Service Department in Tallahassee, Florida and left it for diagnostics. On February 14, 2025, my service advisor called to advise that the ICCU and the VCMS had failed and required replacement. I was then advised that I would be placed on a waiting list for an ICCU part that was expected to be released nationwide on March 1, 2025. As of today’s date, March 8th, I have not been made aware of an ICCU part availability (apparently the VCMS has arrived at the dealership and is being held pending the receipt of an ICCU) nor an anticipated repair of my vehicle, it remains at the dealership service department pending parts availability. My husband unplugged our home charger that uses a 220 volt plug and noted that the plug showed melting damage and that the plug and wall had black marks that suggest that the car caused a malfunction that resulted in a spark in our garage. Due to the location of the outlet, the spark did not cause a fire. Since that date, every time our HVAC system comes on at home, our lights flash, this did not happen prior to [XXX]. We are contacting an electrician to inspect the outlet and any affect the surge had on our home electrical panel.

Was pulling out of drive way. Loud pop heard in the car. Immediately car flashed warning telling me electrical system had an issue and I needed to pull over and have the car towed to a dealer for service. Was told the part was related to the iccu and would take a couple days to arrive. Part is now on back order. 3 weeks later I am still waiting with little to no update on timeline for repair.

ICCU failure. Vehicle abruptly reduced speed while on the road. Hyundai has inspected the vehicle and confirmed the failure. "Stop vehicle and check power supply" warning. "Check electric vehicle system" warning. "12v batter voltage low. Stop safely" warning. All first appeared within a few minutes of the vehicle losing power. Vehicle has been at dealership for repair/replacement of ICCU since February 7th.

This is the second time I’ve taken my Hyundai IONIQ 5 in to Hyundai as part of a recall “fix” for ICCU Failure. Each time, the car has been operating fine, I take the car in for the “fix” as it’s required, and then shortly after the car breaks down while it’s in motion / operating. I’ve concluded these are not “fixes” and I have no ability to trust the safety or reliability of the vehicle. 1) ICCU Failure 8 Days After Recall “Fix”. Same thing happened the previous year. Took the car in for the recall “Fix” and shortly after the car dangerous broke down while driving. 2) Car became a brick. 3) Yes, Hyundai Service Center has confirmed ICCU fault. 4) Yes, see #3 5) Yes, minutes before the car became inoperable.

My car suffered a failure of the Integrated Charge Control Unit ("ICCU") which makes the car underivable. This is the third time that I have had an issue with the ICCU. The first two times, it failed to charge the 12V battery, leading to a loss of all 12V systems and being unable to drive the car. This third time, the car now refuses to charge on AC power. Hyundai has tried to "repair" this issue with software updates, but it doesn't fix it. Now I am waiting for a remanufactured ICCU to replace my broken one.

Electrical system failure. Available for inspection upon request. While driving, warning appeared on dashboard. Warning said, "Stop Vehicle and Check Power Supply" The safety of vehicle occupants and others on the road was put at risk. I lost control of the vehicle in the middle of traffic due to the loss of electrical power. The problem has been confirmed by San Leandro Hyundai as part of the Safety Recall for the Integrated Charging Control Unit, Recall number 272. NHTSA Recall number 24V-868. The recall repair was completed but the ICCU was not replaced and is still defective. A few minutes prior to the eletrical failure a warning message appeared on the dashboard. The warning message said, "Stop Vehicle and Check Power Supply". First appeared on Saturday January 11th at 4PM (PT).

Driving on the highway the car entered limp mode allowing only 30 mph. Messages "stop vehicle and check power supply" with 12V battery indicator. Classic ICCU failure.

Hyundai of Fort Myers Repair Order Number [XXXX] Dear NHTSA Team, I am reaching out to formally report a significant safety concern involving our Hyundai Ioniq 5, which recently experienced an Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failure. This malfunction occurred despite our vehicle receiving all relevant software and hardware updates that Hyundai implemented to address this known issue. This experience has caused our family considerable distress and has raised serious doubts about the reliability of this model, as well as the adequacy of Hyundai’s current safety measures to prevent ICCU failure. While my wife and young daughter were in the car, the ICCU failure occurred suddenly, producing a loud pop that alarmed us all, particularly my daughter who was seated in the rear. She has since expressed fear about riding in the Ioniq 5, making it clear that this issue has impacted her sense of security in the car. Despite the updates Hyundai has issued, the failure occurred without warning, putting us in a vulnerable situation and highlighting that the current remedies may be insufficient to prevent this risk. The gravity of this problem is amplified by my wife’s critical health needs. She is currently on the waiting list for a kidney transplant, and our family requires a dependable vehicle to ensure she can be transported quickly and safely to her medical appointments and, when the time comes, to the hospital for her transplant. We cannot rely on the Ioniq 5 for these crucial needs given our recent experience with this unexpected breakdown. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this issue, as our experience suggests that Hyundai’s current measures to address ICCU failure may not adequately safeguard Ioniq 5 owners. A comprehensive review of this problem could be critical in ensuring the safety of other drivers and families who may be unknowingly exposed to the risk of sudden vehicle malfunctions. We hope that the NHTSA will consider further action

Today when I was driving down a canyon going 40 mph, the car started coasting and the accelerator was unresponsive. I couldn't keep the car from decreasing speed and regen braking wasn't working either. I don't know whether it's related, but this happened within seconds of me turning off daylight savings time in the menu. I coasted to a safe place to pull over (the brakes worked fine), but I could not get the accelerator to work after switching from drive to park to drive again. After turning the car off and then back on, the accelerator again worked like normal. After continuing driving, I turned daylight savings time on and off a few times, but nothing adverse happened.

Vehicle was having issues charging large battery. Would shut off immediately. Today 12v battery died, probably related to ICCU recall performed earlier this month.

I was driving 75mph on the freeway and I heard a pop and then the electrical warning system on the car lit up. I lost power to the car and was only able to accelerate minimally. There was a warning of low battery and the vehicle was going to lose power. I turned on my hazard lights and was able to get to the exit and was able to exit the freeway safely. Once the vehicle lost power I was unable to open the charger door, start the vehicle, use any of the key fob functions and had to jump the 12V battery, only to die immediately after. There is no pre-warning to this happening, it just shows the alert and the car loses all power. There are also problems with the vehicle after being plugged in to charge and it says "Charging Unsuccessful", or stops charging after a short period of time. It also will not charge to full capacity at home or the charging station. I receive no warning lights or messages about why the charge is not working. It took weeks to get the vehicle into the dealer, making it extremely unsafe to drive and the error has almost caused a major crash. My vehicle has been at the dealer and has not been diagnosed with any issues yet. The dealer has provided me with a rental vehicle...in which now I'm paying for gas. Reading through these other comments...who knows how long it will be to get my vehicle back, yet I'm still making my payments...this isn't
