Hyundai is recalling 5,360 Ioniq 9 electric SUVs in the United States<\/strong> because a problem with the power-operated second-row seats could cause the seats to continue moving after coming into contact with an occupant, potentially increasing the risk of injury to children.<\/p>\n

The recall affects certain 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9<\/strong> vehicles equipped with Limited, Calligraphy and Calligraphy Design trims. The safety campaign was filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under recall number 26V588000.<\/p>\n

Problem involves the second-row power seats<\/h3>\n

According to the recall information, the issue involves the power-operated second-row seats<\/strong> and their control system. The system may fail to properly detect an occupant when certain electrically operated seat functions are activated.<\/p>\n

As a result, the seat could continue moving after making contact with a person. Hyundai and federal safety regulators warn that an occupant, particularly a child, could potentially become trapped by the moving seat and suffer injuries.<\/p>\n

The issue is particularly relevant when using the seats’ automatic folding or storage functions. Owners are therefore advised to exercise caution around the second-row seats while these functions are operating.<\/p>\n

Software update will fix the problem<\/h3>\n

Hyundai’s remedy involves checking the software version of the seat control system and updating it when necessary<\/strong>. The repair will be provided free of charge to affected owners.<\/p>\n

Depending on the vehicle, the software update may be performed through an over-the-air update or at an authorized Hyundai dealership.<\/p>\n

Owners can determine whether their vehicle is included in the recall by checking its vehicle identification number (VIN). Hyundai’s recall information indicates that VIN-specific information became available through the NHTSA recall database on September 12, 2026.<\/p>\n

Hyundai is scheduled to begin notifying affected owners by November 9, 2026<\/strong>. The automaker has identified the campaign internally as recall 307.<\/p>\n

Hyundai received five complaints linked to the issue<\/h3>\n

Recall documents indicate that Hyundai received five consumer complaints related to the problem<\/strong>. Two of those reports involved minor injuries.<\/p>\n

The recall is limited to specific 2026 Ioniq 9 vehicles and does not mean that every Ioniq 9 is affected. Owners should use their VIN to determine whether their particular vehicle is included in the campaign.<\/p>\n

For consumers researching alternatives in the electric SUV and broader vehicle market, electric SUVs and other vehicles for sale<\/a> can also be found through Yacarros, a vehicle buying and selling marketplace.<\/p>\n

What Ioniq 9 owners should do<\/h3>\n

Until the recall repair has been completed, Hyundai recommends exercising caution when operating the electric folding functions of the second-row seats. Children should be kept away from the seats and their moving areas while the mechanism is operating.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Owners whose vehicles are included in the recall will be able to have the necessary repair performed at no cost. Hyundai advises customers to follow the recall instructions and contact an authorized dealer if their vehicle requires the update.<\/p>\n

The recall highlights the growing importance of software-controlled safety systems in modern electric vehicles, where functions that were traditionally mechanical are increasingly managed by electronic control systems and software.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
