Hyundai and Kia Recall Over 200,000 EVs for Potential Power Loss

Faulty charging control units in affected vehicles may cause power failure, prompting safety concerns and free repairs.

Hyundai is recalling 145,235 vehicles in the U.S., including Ioniq and Genesis models from 2022 to 2025, due to potential damage to the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU).
Kia's recall involves 62,872 EV6 vehicles from 2022 to 2024 in the U.S., citing similar ICCU issues that could lead to a loss of drive power.
The ICCU malfunction may prevent charging of the 12-volt battery, resulting in reduced power and, if ignored, a complete loss of propulsion.
No crashes, injuries, or fatalities related to the issue have been reported in the U.S. or Canada, according to Hyundai and Kia.
Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by mail starting in December and January, with free software updates and ICCU component replacements available at dealerships.
