Hyundai recalls 2026 IONIQ 9 over power adjust problem (5,360 vehicles)
Hyundai filed a safety recall on September 11, 2026 covering 5,360 vehicles: 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9.
What is wrong
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2026 Ioniq 9 vehicles equipped with a Limited, Calligraphy, or Calligraphy Design trim package. The second-row power seats may fail to detect a person. As a result, the seats may continue to move after contacting a person during powered seat functions, such as automatic power fold-and-stow.
Why it matters
A person, especially a child, may become trapped by a rear powered seat, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Owners are advised to exercise caution when operating the second-row power seat functions until the repair is performed. Children are advised not to be in the rear seats or near the rear seating area during power-folding operation. The seat software will be inspected and updated over-the-air (OTA) or by a dealer, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 1, 2026. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1‑855‑371‑9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 307.
