Hyundai service campaign LA5
Hyundai filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Jan 9, 2026, received Jan 13, 2026, about the exterior lighting — 2 documents under this number: 26-01-001H DCS, 26-01-001H TSB. It names 1 model year (2026). A service campaign is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationCertain IONIQ 9 (ME1A EV) vehicles may exhibit adhesive residue on the high mounted stop lamp. This can occur when the clear protective film has had prolonged exposure to sun and heat, causing some of the adhesive to remain on the black plastic housing after removal. Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 26-01-001H provides instructions to inspect and, if necessary, replace the high mounted stop lamp on affected vehicles.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Hyundai LA5 a recall?
No. A service campaign is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the LA5 repair free?
A service campaign is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does LA5 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 1 model year: 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
