It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 36 manufacturer filings and 2 owner reports naming P0456 on 16 Hyundai model years (2016–2022). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

2019 Ioniq (5 documents), 2018 Ioniq (5 documents), 2017 Ioniq (5 documents).

Does P0456 on a Hyundai mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
