Hyundai Recalls 5,360 Ioniq 9 SUVs — 4dHyundai is recalling about 5,360 2026 Ioniq 9s with Limited, Calligraphy and Calligraphy Design trims because the second-row power-folding seats may fail to detect passengers or objects, potentially continuing to move and risking injury; Hyundai has issued an over-the-air software fix and urged caution until repairs are completed.

Analysts question whether Abdelilah Benkirane’s recognizable personal brand can lead a genuine comeback or if the party’s revival requires more than his leadership.

Dana Whitfield Benkirane's name recognition might help a bit but the PJD lost those 125 seats for reasons that a familiar face alone won't fix by 2026.

Elena Vasquez It's good they fixed the glitch, but $1,000 for upper level seats shows how out of reach these games have become for most fans.

Nicole Hardy This kind of multipolar effort could challenge Western dominance but only if the members deliver on follow-up actions.

Maya Lindstrom The Ioniq 5 range is solid for the money but those small price bumps add up if you want the higher trims.
