Hyundai Ioniq 5
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a compact electric crossover sold in North America since the 2022 model year on the E-GMP platform. REREV says CarComplaints rates 2022 worst by repair cost and mileage at failure, tied to an integrated charging control unit (ICCU) failure on 2022 to 2024 cars that could cause sudden loss of drive power, and that complaint and recall data show a clear gap between the 2022-2023 cars and the improved 2024-2025 models. Federal data on this site shows the 2022 with the most complaints (402). The 2026 Ioniq 5 starts at $36,600.
What the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is and who buys it
Wikipedia (opens in a new tab) describes the Ioniq 5 as a compact crossover SUV made by Hyundai since March 2021, North American model years from 2022, on the E-GMP platform with a 58 to 84-kWh battery, rear-motor or dual-motor all-wheel drive, a 2024 facelift, N-Line and XRT trims, and the performance Ioniq 5 N with an 8-speed simulated transmission since 2025. The 2026 Ioniq 5 is rated 71 to 115 mpg-equivalent by the EPA, about $650 to $1,050 a year in fuel, and Kelley Blue Book base prices are $36,600 for the SE Standard Range, $41,400 for the SEL and $47,875 for the XRT.
The ICCU failure and best and worst years
Federal data shows the 2022 Ioniq 5 with 3 recalls and 402 complaints, the most of any year, the 2023 with 4 recalls and 385 complaints, the 2024 with 3 and 222, and the 2025 with 9 recalls, the most of any year, and 292 complaints.
REREV (opens in a new tab) says the top failure is an integrated charging control unit (ICCU) failure on 2022 to 2024 cars, causing sudden loss of drive power, that CarComplaints rates the 2022 worst by repair cost and mileage at failure, with NHTSA complaint volume highest for 2022, and that complaint and recall data show a clear gap between the 2022-2023 cars and the improved 2024-2025 models. It notes NHTSA issued two ICCU recall campaigns: a March 2024 campaign covering 2022-2024 Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Genesis GV60 and Genesis G80 and GV70 Electrified, and an expanded November 2024 campaign that added the 2025 Ioniq 6. KnowMotors (opens in a new tab) says a later car avoids the 2022 parking-pawl campaign and the limited 2023 driveshaft campaign, but it still needs the latest ICCU and traction-battery work checked by VIN, and that a car advertised as recall-free in 2025 may have gained a campaign later.
Choosing a year
A 2024 or 2025 Ioniq 5 sits on the improved side of the gap REREV describes, but every 2022 to 2024 car, and some 2025 Ioniq 6 relatives, share the ICCU recall, so confirm that campaign is closed by VIN no matter which year you buy.

Method: recall counts and their affected components come from the NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation: Recalls API, queried by exact make, model and model year. Complaint counts come from the NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation: Complaints API, same query pattern. Data pulled 2026-09-04.
Known gap: the NHTSA complaints API did not return data for Hyundai Ioniq 5 model year 2026 when queried for this page: the request itself failed upstream, not returning a genuine zero. Those years are marked "not available" above instead of shown as clean; recall counts for those years are unaffected and come from the separate recalls API, which returned data for every year listed.

Q01Is there a best year to buy a Hyundai Ioniq 5?
Recall count alone can't answer that: it says nothing about a specific vehicle's price, mileage, accident history or maintenance record. What federal data can say: 2025 carried more. See the model-year table on this page for the exact counts and what they cover.
Q02Which Hyundai Ioniq 5 model years should I watch for recalls?
The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 has 9 federal recalls on file, most commonly affecting electrical system, brakes, suspension. Always confirm the open/completed status of every campaign for the specific VIN: a recall on this list may already be repaired on the vehicle in front of you.
Q03What are common recall-related problems on the Hyundai Ioniq 5 by model year?
2026: electrical system. 2025: electrical system, brakes, suspension, exterior lighting. 2024: electrical system. 2023: electrical system, powertrain. 2022: electrical system, parking brake.
Q04Why do some Hyundai Ioniq 5 model years show "not available" for complaints?
The NHTSA complaints API did not return data for Hyundai Ioniq 5 model year 2026 when queried for this page: the request itself failed upstream instead of the count genuinely being zero. Recall counts for those years are unaffected; they come from a separate NHTSA endpoint that returned data for every year listed.
