Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE:SOFTWARE:PEDESTRIAN/CYCLIST/OBJECT/OBSTACLE/ RECOGNITION filed January 2, 2024
NHTSA complaint #1954611 (ODI reference 11563080) concerns a 2022 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 and was filed on January 2, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 29, 2023. The vehicle had 9,600 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to New York based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as forward collision avoidance:software:pedestrian/cyclist/object/obstacle/ recognition, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 cohort independently describe similar forward collision avoidance:software:pedestrian/cyclist/object/obstacle/ recognition failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data.
