What's wrong?
The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 uses an Integrated Electrical Booster that builds brake pressure electronically. The vehicle control unit coordinates that pressure with the anti lock braking system, which helps keep the wheels from locking during hard braking. During left foot braking, the system has to read throttle and brake inputs at the same time and keep brake pressure stable.
On affected vehicles, an error in the booster and vehicle control unit software logic can depressurize the ABS system when both pedals are used under the conditions covered by the recall. That loss of pressure reduces braking performance while left foot braking is active. Hyundai revised the software logic so the brake system keeps pressure during that operation.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is in the control logic, so the driver is not given a separate sound, light, or pedal feel warning before braking performance drops during the affected left foot braking condition.

What's the safety risk?
Reduced braking performance can lengthen stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash. Until the updated software remedy is complete, avoid the LFB feature if the vehicle has not had the prior remedy, and avoid the "N" E-shift feature if it has. There is no warning sign before the problem. Repair will be free at any franchised Hyundai dealer once available.

What happens at the repair
Until the updated remedy is available, Hyundai advises owners who have not received the earlier recall repair not to use the LFB feature. Owners who already received the earlier repair should not use the 'N' E-shift feature until the updated remedy is completed. Once the repair opens, a Hyundai technician will update the IEB and VCU software, with parts and labor covered under the recall. Hyundai's standard reimbursement plan covers eligible prior repairs. Contact Hyundai customer service with repair documentation to claim reimbursement.
