Read by machine from the document NHTSA serves (5 pages), read Sep 30, 2026. A part number is shown only where it matches Hyundai’s own catalogue shape, an operation only with its code and time, and a description only where the reader got it whole; anything it could not settle is left out, and the PDF is the record. Times are the manufacturer’s warranty allowances, not a quote.
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.

What owners reported

NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.

Checked and see code DTC PIA9096 and car was inoperable after. Towed to dealer for replacement of ICCU module.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Hyundai LA9 a recall?
No. A warranty extension 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 LA9 repair free?
A warranty extension 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 LA9 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 2 model years: 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5, 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone. The document itself sets the build window: 2025 IONIQ 5 (NEA EV): built 6 May 2025 – 5 Jun 2025; 2026 IONIQ 9 (ME1A EV): built 7 May 2025 – 4 Jun 2025 — the build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb.
