NHTSA defect investigations

Electrical System:Propulsion System:Dc/Dc Converter — Loss of Motive Power closed

On June 8, 2023, the Office of Defect Investigation (ODI) opened PE23011 to investigate allegations of loss of motor power on model year (MY) 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles. Some consumers reported loss of motor power immediately after a warning lamp illumination or reduction of motive power while the vehicle was in motion. This investigation found that the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) may be subject to various conditions such as overcurrent, overvoltage induced at the end of charging, and certain thermal loading during operation that can damage its internal components and open the ICCU fuse, resulting in an inability to charge the 12-volt battery. The vehicle could eventually lose

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (SEL, AWD) has bad ICCU (intergrated charging control unit). Will only charge at DC chargers reliably, level 2 or level 1 chargers will only work intermittently. Has been in the shop 2 weeks with no estimated repair date as the ICCU is on backorder.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned: Rear electric motor. Specifically the "engine oil pump" that is used to cool the rear motor. The pump does not respond to MCU commands and does not cool the motor. This causes the motor to overheat after about an hour of highway driving causing the motor to provide VERY limited power.

A service bulletin is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a known condition. It is not a recall, not a finding that the vehicle is defective, and the work is not automatically free — though a bulletin is often what a dealer works from when you describe a symptom, so quoting the document number can save a diagnosis. The count is every communication filed; the list shows the most recent, one entry per campaign, because a single campaign is usually filed as several documents on the same day. The summaries are NHTSA's; the full documents come from the manufacturer.

At the New York inspection station

In New York’s inspection lanes over the 12 months to Oct 26, 2026, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 failed the safety inspection on 1.1% of first inspections — close to the 1.2% for every 2023 model-year vehicle inspected.

Common questions about the 2023 Ioniq 5

Source: EPA, NHTSA and manufacturer press kits

How much does the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 cost?

Manufacturer pricing runs from $41,450 for the SE Standard Range RWD to $56,500 for the Limited AWD AWD, across 7 trims. Those are MSRPs from the manufacturer's own press material; they exclude destination, options, taxes and whatever the dealer adds. Every trim and price is listed above.

Does the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 have any recalls?

NHTSA has posted 4 recall campaigns for the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5, 1 of them rated critical. The most serious on file is 26V432000, covering Electrical System. There is an active park outside advisory — act on it before driving. Check your own VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls; a recall applies to specific build ranges, not every car.

How safe is the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5?

NHTSA gave the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 5 stars overall in its New Car Assessment Program tests — 4-star frontal crash, 5-star side crash, 5-star rollover. WhichTrim also grades it D (68/100) on its recall record, which is a different question from crash protection.

What is the fuel economy of the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5?

Across the 3 EPA-rated configurations of the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5, the longest EPA range is 303 miles on a charge. Figures are the EPA's own, per configuration, and every one is listed above.

What do owners complain about on the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5?

Owners have filed 388 complaints with NHTSA about the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5, most often about electrical system, power train, fuel/propulsion system. Of those, 12 involved a crash, 3 a fire, 6 reported injuries. Complaints are unverified owner reports, so treat the pattern as a signal and the individual report as an anecdote.

How clean is the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5?

The EPA smog rating for the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is 10 out of 10. That score covers tailpipe pollutants other than greenhouse gases, and it only compares vehicles within the same model year. It is certified for all fifty states, so it can be registered new anywhere in the U.S. Its configurations were certified to different standards — California ZEV, Federal Tier 3 Bin 0 — which the table above lists per configuration.

Are there service bulletins for the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5?

The manufacturer has filed 48 service bulletins and related communications with NHTSA for the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5, most often covering electrical system, power train, structure. The most recent is dated 2026-10-21. A bulletin is not a recall: it is the repair procedure a manufacturer sends its dealers for a condition it knows about, and the work is not automatically paid for. It is still worth knowing — if the symptom matches, quoting the bulletin number at the service desk can save a diagnosis. The document numbers and summaries are listed above.

How does the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 do at state inspection?

In New York’s inspection lanes over the 12 months to Oct 26, 2026, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 failed the safety inspection on 1.1% of first inspections — close to the 1.2% for every 2023 model-year vehicle inspected. The figures are New York State DMV’s own inspection records, first inspections only, and the table above sets each one against every vehicle of the same model year.

Which 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 trim is the best value?

$15,050 separates the cheapest of the 7 trims from the most expensive, so the answer depends on which of the differences you would actually use. Every trim has its own page here with the manufacturer's full specification and equipment list, plus a short summary of exactly what it adds over the base trim — worth reading before a dealer frames the walk-up for you. The trim-by-trim ladder shows what every step up costs and what it makes standard.

What we hold, and what an empty row means

Paid vehicle-history reports will not tell you the difference between “nothing happened to this car” and “we never received that record” — both of the big two say as much in their own help pages. Most of what is on this page comes from complete federal registers, so we can tell you which is which, row by row.

Sources & method

Safety Signal starts every model-year at 100 and subtracts points per open NHTSA recall campaign by severity: critical 15 (fire risk, park-outside or do-not-drive advisories), high 8 (brakes, steering, airbags, loss of drive power, structure, battery), moderate 6, minor 3 (software, labels, lighting fixed by an update). The most serious recall counts in full and each further one counts 85% of the one before, because a vehicle sold in millions is recalled more often than a rare one without being more dangerous — and because a flat subtraction bottomed the scale out, scoring a vehicle with 22 recalls within a point of one with six. A ≥ 90, B ≥ 80, C ≥ 70, D ≥ 60, otherwise F. Read it as what it counts: recall campaigns on the federal record, weighted by severity. The damping reduces the sales bias by roughly 40% but does not remove it: like our complaint counts, this is not normalized by how many were sold, so a best-seller still scores somewhat worse than an obscure model with the same real risk. NHTSA crash ratings, do-not-drive and park-outside advisories, and the crash, fire, injury and death counts in owner complaints are reported separately on every page and never blended into the letter — a vehicle can hold five stars and a poor letter at once, and where that happens we say so rather than leave you to notice. Because the scale subtracts from a clean sheet, a model year too new to have been recalled, complained about or bulletined scores full marks on an empty record; we label those grades provisional rather than present them as earned.

EPA figures come from fueleconomy.gov vehicle records. Recalls, complaints, investigations and crash ratings come from NHTSA's public flat files, refreshed nightly. Trim-level specifications and pricing are transcribed from the manufacturer's official press kit; every value carries its source in the data file.
