Official summary

Certain 2026MY IONIQ 9 (ME1A EV) vehicles may have fender garnish clips that were not fully inserted during assembly. If the clips were not properly secured, it may result in a visible gap between the fender garnish and the vehicle body. This may also cause interference when the front door is opened. Follow the procedure in this bulletin to inspect the gap between the fender garnish and vehicle body on both driver and passenger sides and, if necessary, secure the clips.

Vehicles covered

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
