HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM: INVERTER
- The defect
- Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Ioniq HEV and Ionic PHV vehicles previously recalled under recall number 18V-704. The Power Relay Assembly (PRA) located underneath the rear seat may overheat.
- What it can cause
- An overheated PRA increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the main relay or PRA, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 23, 2022. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 232. This recall replaces NHTSA recall number 18V-704. Vehicles already repaired under the previous recall will need to have the new remedy completed.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 10,575 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 80% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2018, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Hyundai vehicles have been recalled over the hybrid propulsion system 4 times before this, most recently in October 2018 as 18V704000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 53 complaints with NHTSA, 30 of them before this campaign was filed. 7 of those name the hybrid propulsion system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in July 2017, 4 years before this filing.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Hyundai Motor America with NHTSA on June 28, 2022 as campaign 22V459000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
