Raw counts — older model years have had more time on the road to accumulate reports. These are unverified consumer reports.

What this means

Every mainstream EV on the road carries recalls on its NHTSA file — a recall is the system working: a known issue gets documented and, almost always, fixed for free.

What actually matters is whether the remedies have shipped and whether NHTSA still has open questions. For the Hyundai Ioniq 6, all 6 recalls on file have a remedy available, and no NHTSA investigations are currently open.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Hyundai Ioniq 6 reliable?

"Reliability" is measured differently by different sources, and NHTSA doesn't publish a reliability score. What its public file — the basis for this page — shows for the Hyundai Ioniq 6 is 6 recalls, all with a remedy available, no open investigations, and 126 owner-submitted complaints — which are unverified reports, not confirmed defects. For predicted-reliability and owner-satisfaction verdicts, Consumer Reports and J.D. Power run large owner-survey panels; check their model pages for those ratings.

Does the Hyundai Ioniq 6 have any recalls?

Yes — NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for the Hyundai Ioniq 6. All of them have a remedy available. The most recent was filed Apr 6, 2026 and involved Seat Belts / Front / Anchorage. A recall is how a known issue gets fixed — usually free of charge — so the presence of recalls isn't the same as an unresolved problem.

Does the Hyundai Ioniq 6 have battery problems?

NHTSA's file lists 1 recall classified to the battery / high-voltage group and 36 owner complaints (unverified consumer reports) that touch the battery. Owner complaints are unverified and one complaint can span more than one category, so treat the count as a signal of what owners raise, not a defect rate.
