Dear NHTSA, On [XXX] at [XXX] CST, my 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL experienced a sudden ICCU failure. While reversing into my driveway, I heard a loud “pop,” followed by warning messages: “Stop vehicle and check power supply” and “Check electric vehicle system.” A DTC scan showed code P1A90(96). The car became inoperable and had to be towed to a Hyundai dealership. The dealer confirmed ICCU failure and replaced both the ICCU and fuse on 6/17/2025. However, the replacement was not a redesigned part—it was the same model that failed. I purchased this vehicle in March 2025 as a Certified Pre-Owned with ~12,000 miles. All recall-related ICCU updates had been completed before this incident. There were no warning signs before the failure. This failure could have been dangerous had it occurred on a highway, in extreme weather, or far from help with my [XXX] daughter with me. I no longer feel safe driving this car. Hyundai’s recall remedy is clearly not effective, and they continue replacing defective ICCUs with the same flawed units. They have not disclosed the root cause or implemented a permanent fix. I urge NHTSA to: Investigate ongoing ICCU failures despite recall compliance. Mandate a stop-sale of affected vehicles until a real fix is found. Require Hyundai to disclose the root cause. Consider a buyback program if no safe solution is available. This is a serious safety risk. These failures will continue without regulatory action. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ICCU (Intergrated Charging Control Unit) failed after two mandatory recalls were completed. Vehicle is not drivable as it’s awaiting for a replacement ICCU (backordered). Replacement ICCU will not remedy the issue since it has not been improved upon from the original failure. Vehicle shutdown on a two lane highway with a 65mph speed limit. The section where the vehicle shutdown was without cellular service and on a bend with no shoulder, which increased the risk of an accident. The problem was reproduced in other vehicles using the same part. The component has been inspected by the manufacturer and dealer with a temporary remedy of replacement. Warning lights appeared after the failure occurred; essentially giving the driver no warning or time to react. The vehicle displayed a warning message to pull over and turn off vehicle immediately. Power was reduced to 15mph for about 15-20 minutes.

Error message indicate loss of charge capacity. Car slowed down, with enough range to pull off the road. Dealer indicates the integrated charge control unit (ICCU) failed, and quit charging the 12 volt system. Waiting for parts (1 month so far). Seems like the same issue reported under NHTSA recall 272 for the Ioniq 5 Does Hyundai have a list of failed ICCU’s, and whether there might be a batch of these units that are failing, or is this just a random occurrence?

The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failed while I was driving to work. I was on the highway in the middle of a blizzard and the "Check Electric Vehicle Systems" warning popped up on my dash. It then when into a turtle mode and my car would no longer go above 15 - 20 mph. I had to exit the freeway very abruptly because my speed was dropping quickly. It was already extremely dangerous driving that day, this just added on top of it. It is available for inspection, it's been sitting at my dealership since March 6th because the ICCU is back ordered and there is no ETA when one will become available. The dealership has inspected and confirmed it is a faulty ICCU. There were no other problems with the car until the warning appeared on the dash. The ICCU has had 3 manufacturer recalls for the ICCU previously. Which I have gone in to the dealership for.

About 2 minutes after I started driving, I got a "Stop Vehicle and Check Power Supply" warning. The car slower to about 20 mph and would not go any faster. After returning home, I had the car towed to the dealership. Hyundai said that the ICCU unit failed. This was days after the same dealer performed recall work that was supposed to address ICCU issues.

Started car and proceeded to drive to work. 1 mile from home, heard a "pop" noise and the car displayed "Check Electric Vehicle System" warning and went into a "turtle" mode that limited speed. Luckily I was on a side street and had not yet made the turn onto the main highway or it may have obstructed traffic or resulted in a crash. I was able to return home and have the car towed back to a Hyundai dealer for diagnosis and repair. The dealer identified the issue as the ICCU fuse and ICCU itself that needed replacing. All previous recalls and software updates were completed, including the latest ICCU recall (272?) which was completed on December 3. There have now been multiple software updates and recalls targeting this part, but it still resulted in the vehicle losing power and being inoperable.

Our 8-mo old 9800 mile Ioniq 5 failed to maintain its 12v battery while parked for a week. It was dead when we came back to it. Jump started successfully. I replaced the OEM battery with an AGM battery, which the car failed to maintain charge on after 2 weeks. At that time, while driving, the car displayed "Stop vehicle and check power supply" and "check vehicle electrical system." I had a battery monitor installed which showed the car only had 44% charge left in a new 12v battery. By the time we made it to the dealer 15 minutes away, the car was barely above 20% on its battery, and was about to stop on the road. The car has been diagnosed with an ICCU failure and replacement parts are 2+ months backordered. This car appears to brick itself without much warning to the driver -- and clearly Hyundai's software-only recalls are not fixing the root cause of this dangerous safety issue.

When driving in i-Pedal, which is a "one pedal driving option", sometimes after pausing the car rolls backs several inches. This appears to be a defect with the powetrain, regenerative braking engine, or otherwise. Hyundai's dealership has been advised of this issue; they have escalated this internally. A car in drive forward should never due to electrical or software reasons be told to move backwards -- which is what is happening here.
