What's wrong?
The high voltage battery pack in the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 stores the electrical energy used to drive the vehicle. Inside that pack, a bus bar is a metal conductor that moves high voltage current between battery sections. Its retaining bolts have to be tightened to the specified torque, which means the correct clamping force, so the electrical connection stays secure.
On affected Ioniq 5 vehicles, the assembly process did not properly confirm the tightened connections. Hyundai traced the issue to a torque tool controller failure during battery system assembly. If a bus bar is not tightened correctly, the connection can loosen or sit unevenly, creating a path for a short circuit inside the high voltage battery system.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not expect a noise, warning light, smell, or change in driving feel before the short circuit condition occurs.
