What's wrong?
The right-side headlight on the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 has an aim label that tells a technician how the lamp is supposed to be aligned. Proper headlight aim keeps the beam pointed where the driver needs it without putting too much light into oncoming traffic. The label is part of that setup process, not a part the driver adjusts during normal use.
On affected Ioniq 5 vehicles, the headlight lens carried the wrong aim marking. The supplier's molding die, the tool that shapes the lens marking, was not maintained correctly. Excessive polishing wore the "VOR" marking area, leaving a marking that resembled "VOP" and creating the chance that the headlight is aimed incorrectly.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is unlikely to spot the label issue during normal driving, so the VIN and dealer inspection decide whether the vehicle needs the corrected headlight marking.

- Use the corrected label and instructions Hyundai mailed, or bring the vehicle to the dealer for free installation.

What happens at the repair

What should I do if my 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Ioniq 5 is included in recall 25V373. If it is, follow Hyundai's corrected label inspection and installation instructions, or contact a franchised Hyundai dealer for the free repair. Reference Hyundai recall number 279 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the defect remedy at no cost, and Hyundai says owners can bring the vehicle to a dealer for the repair free of charge. Parts, label correction, inspection, and related dealer labor are covered under recall 25V373.
