Understanding the Hyundai IONIQ PLUG-IN HYBRID recall history

The Hyundai IONIQ PLUG-IN HYBRID currently has 1 recall campaign indexed from the NHTSA public database. Each recall represents a formal campaign to fix a defect at no cost to the current owner. Owner complaints are self-reported incidents that haven't (yet) resulted in a recall but can indicate emerging patterns worth watching.

The tracked recalls span model years 2018. Not every model year carries every recall. Each campaign is scoped to a specific year range and often a specific build window, which is why a VIN lookup is the only way to know whether a particular IONIQ PLUG-IN HYBRID is actually affected by any of these campaigns.

How to use this page
