Recalls: Hyundai AE Ioniq
2019 Hyundai AE Ioniq: loose wheel nuts
In November 2019, recall campaign 91C064 was issued for Hyundai AE Ioniq vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 1 July 2019 to 31 August 2019. The wheel nuts for these vehicles may not have been tightened correctly and this could cause the wheels to become loose and risk falling off. If this occurred, the steering and drivability of the vehicle would be compromised – this increased the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17928.
2019-20 Hyundai AE Ioniq: defective battery could cause fire
In August 2021, recall campaign 11D044 was issued for 2019-20 Hyundai AE Ioniq vehicles. Due to a manufacturing defect, the battery did not meet specifications and this could cause an electrical short circuit and fire. A vehicle fire increased the risk of injury to vehicle occupants, bystanders and/or damage to property. To fix, a Hyundai dealer was to replace the battery. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-001706.
2017-19 Hyundai AE Ioniq: fail-safe mode and unintended acceleration following accelerator pedal release
In January 2022, recall campaign 11D138 was issued for 2017-19 Hyundai AE Ioniq electric vehicles. In certain driving conditions, the vehicle’s ‘fail-safe’ mode may be activated. If this occurred, the ‘EV ready’ lamp would flash and there would also be reduced acceleration and a loss of drive power; there was also a risk of unintended acceleration following full accelerator pedal release. These conditions could increase the risk of a collision, also increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. Before the recall works were to be carried out, attention was required on the potential unintended slow acceleration that could be overcome by applying the brake pedal. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005044.
