Not a good sign for Ioniq 5

Still far better than "you better park outside and watch your car while it charges, and don't charge above 90% and discharge below 30% or your CAR MAY CATCH ON FIRE".

We haven't heard anything new on this issue in weeks anyway, so more likely than not they've already corrected it, or it's relatively rare. At the moment no reason to expect this is anything but a typical early production teething problem.

I would suspect Hyundai probably already have a TSB issued and any WP replacements will occur as smoothly as the Kona EVs cracked can case TSB that was issued in Nov 2019:

Yeah, the odds of me moving forward with my pre-order are very low. No loss since my 2021 Kona EV is running very well. Maybe the next model year of the I5 will have a rear wiper and have the bugs ironed out. Hyundai ... are you listening to your customers???

Since I made this comment, two different items have been confirmed:

1. The IONIQ 5 is definitely not using the same batteries manufactured by LG
2. The rear view camera can be easily accessed while driving

I also haven't read of any other recalls for this vehicle in Korea or countries it has been released to. It was recalled for a coolant leak.

Although I still have the reservation, pricing is still a big unknown for Canada. I don't care about delivery delays since my 2021 Kona EV is still running well.

Knight Rider found some more info about this on the IoniqForums {note :- Tilbury is the UK port where all Hyundai vehicles arrive}

"I've been reliably informed today that the delay has been at Tilbury where they have been checking each vehicle for the coolant leak reported in Korea, something was rubbing against a pipe so needed tightening up. The P45's are four wheel drive meaning they have another motor at the front and I am guessing they had to remove the motor to access the pipe area, whereas the premium two wheel drive models don't have the front motor which probably means easier access to the offending pipe and quicker delivery of the demo models to dealers. During my PDI the mechanic said mine has been marked on the system as being checked before he got his hands on it which can only mean in Tilbury, so there won't be a recall for the reported coolant leaks. Why on earth don't Hyundai UK just tell the truth and we would all have understood the need for a safety check"
