The smog rating scores tailpipe pollutants other than greenhouse gases, 1 (worst) to 10 (best), and is comparable only within a model year. The standard is the federal bin or California tier the configuration was certified to. Both come from the EPA certificate behind the window sticker.
The cheapest ownership win
Insurers price the 2025 Ioniq 6 very differently, and the gap between the best and worst quote on the same car and driver is usually larger than any option you are weighing on this page.

272 (H), 025G (G)These are vehicle campaigns — the ones the automaker filed against this model. NHTSA also records equipment recalls, filed by a parts maker against a component (a tyre, a child seat, an aftermarket part), and those are not listed here or counted above. nhtsa.gov/recalls shows both for a VIN.
Whether any of this applies to one specific Ioniq 6
A campaign covers a build range, not a model year, so two identical-looking cars from 2025 can differ. Both of these check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list, free, in about ten seconds. Hyundai publishes its own lookup because federal rule 49 CFR 573.15 requires it to, and to keep it current to within seven days.
Hear about a recall before the letter does
The manufacturer’s letter is the last step of a recall: it has up to 60 days after filing to mail owners, at the address on the registration. We email you the day NHTSA posts a recall on the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6, with what to do next. Nothing else, ever — no newsletter, no marketing, one-click unsubscribe in every message.

In owners' own words
Filed with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, one per problem area. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed.
I was driving at 60mph. I heard a sudden pop that felt like it came from behind me / under the car. While I glanced to see if I ran over something (I did not), the car suddenly felt like it was about to stall. It was slowing down quickly and dramatically.
The windshield cracked from using the defroster to defrost the windshield. On a cold morning
Battery is not charging to full capacity. The ICCU has been replaced and the battery is still not holding a full charge
While driving "check electrical system" warning appeared and vehicle went to limp mode limited to 20mph while on a 40mph roadway. Drove an additional few miles to try and reach home and vehicles completely died, no power. Towed to dealer. DTC P1A9096 indicates ICCU failure
The ICCU assembly and high voltage fuse blew/broke at 6,255 miles as I was driving on Interstate 294. That immediately reduced the vehicle maximum speed to about 25mph, causing a hazard to myself and following drivers who were traveling at 55mph or more.
My car was parked and I noticed that there was a bump in the sidewall of my vehicles driver front tire. This is the 2nd time this has happened in a month with factory installed tires that came with the vehicle when purchased brand new. I have had my 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SEL since 12/13/2024.

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

Electric vehicles get no emissions test in New York, so the safety inspection is the record here. First inspections only, so a car that failed and came back is counted once; private and special plates, not taxis, livery or commercial plates. A rate appears only where at least 200 inspections stand behind it. “Every 2025 vehicle” is every 2025 model-year car, SUV and pickup inspected in the same window, all makes. This is the state’s record of test results, not a reliability score by itself. Source: New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, Vehicle Inspections (data.ny.gov, Open NY terms).

NHTSA gave the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 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 C (79/100) on its recall record, which is a different question from crash protection.
What is the fuel economy of the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6?
Across the 5 EPA-rated configurations of the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6, the longest EPA range is 342 miles on a charge. Figures are the EPA's own, per configuration, and every one is listed above.

Owners have filed 37 complaints with NHTSA about the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6, most often about electrical system, unspecified, power train. Of those, 2 involved a crash. Complaints are unverified owner reports, so treat the pattern as a signal and the individual report as an anecdote.
How clean is the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6?
The EPA smog rating for the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 is 10 out of 10. That score covers tailpipe pollutants other than greenhouse gases, and it only compares vehicles within the same model year.

Are there service bulletins for the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6?
The manufacturer has filed 19 service bulletins and related communications with NHTSA for the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6, most often covering electrical system, unknown or other, exterior lighting. The most recent is dated 2026-06-25. 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 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 do at state inspection?
In New York’s inspection lanes over the 12 months to Oct 10, 2026, the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 failed the safety inspection on 0.43% of first inspections — close to the 0.36% for every 2025 model-year vehicle inspected.

Which 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 trim is the best value?
$16,750 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.
Is the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 better than the 2025 Nissan Altima?
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 wins clearly, 85.5 to 77.3, on fuel & range, tech & comfort. The Nissan Altima is ahead on price and safety.

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.

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.
