Problem Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 vehicles. The right-side headlight may have an incorrect headlight aim label, which can result in improperly aimed headlights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Risk Improperly aimed headlights can result in insufficient illumination of the road, decreasing the driver's visibility and increasing the risk of a crash. Fix Hyundai will mail owners a corrected label with inspection and installation instructions. Owners may bring their vehicle to a dealer for the repair, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 15, 2025. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 279.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 279 is the number Hyundai assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 25V373000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
