Nice article -- my first post here. The Ioniq 5 certainly looked to be a very nice vehicle, but I ruled it out because of the ICCU problem and management's response to it. Saying "only 1% of the cars have the problem" doesn't do you much good if you're part of the 1%... And I keep seeing anecdotal comments that repairs can take weeks to months. Anybody know if Hyundai is closer to a real fix?

Just bought a Hyundai inster/casper and I asked the dealer about this. They promised a “few days” repair time and a loaner car, as the needed parts are in good supply. In Norway, at least.

So, no real fix but probably quicker repair time.
