Hyundai Australia is recalling its high-performance electric vehicle (EV) due to an issue with its brakes.
“Due to a software issue, under certain driving conditions the Integrated Electronic Brake (IEB) system may affect the hydraulic pressure within the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS),” the company says in its recall notice for the Ioniq 5 N.
“If this occurs, it could reduce braking performance and lead to longer stopping distances.
“A reduction in braking performance could increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”
