On June 3, 2026, my 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE Dual Motor AWD (approximately 31,000 miles) experienced a sudden and severe high-voltage battery failure. Prior to complete failure, I noticed “Check Electrical” warning sign occurring simultaneously: a sudden and dramatic drop in driving range, dashboard warning lights illuminating, and the vehicle failing to charge properly at both home and public charging stations. The vehicle was still drivable at the time I brought it to an authorized Hyundai dealership, but displayed serious warnings indicating the HV battery system was critically compromised. Upon inspection, the dealership confirmed the main high-voltage battery had failed and required full replacement. The dealership has advised that the repair will take several months due to parts availability. This failure is not an isolated incident. Hyundai issued a recall covering 2022–2024 Ioniq 5 models for HV battery and charging system defects (including ICCU failure). My vehicle’s failure i...

Component that failed: High-voltage main battery pack assembly and associated electrical architecture. The vehicle and the component are currently located at my home and are available for inspection upon request. Description of Incident & Safety Risk: While attempting to drive the car and when connected to the vehicle to a standard charging infrastructure, a catastrophic internal failure occurred within the high-voltage system (Diagnostic Trouble Code P1AA600). Upon attempting to plug the vehicle in, active electrical arcing and physical sparks emanated from the high-voltage architecture. This structural manufacturing component defect presents an immediate, severe, and active fire and safety hazard to the occupants, the vehicle, and any surrounding property. The vehicle is currently completely un-driveable and unsafe to connect to any power grid. Dealer Confirmation & Inspection: The vehicle was driven to a certified manufacturer dealership service center. A certified dealership tech...

The ICCU failed to charge the car via level 1 (120VAC or 240VAC), but does charge using public DC chargers. Fortunately the issue occurred at home so no traffic issue occurred, in this case. The level 1 charger indicated a fault and would not charge the car. I drove the vehicle without any issues to a public charger and established that the DC charging is working. Hyundai repair center diagnosed the problem and confirmed that a repair is needed. I am currently awaiting a repair. The fault was diagnosed on January 22, 2026 and as of June 01, 2026 no repair has been done.
