Hyundai and Kia Recall Over 208,000 EVs Due to Power Loss Risk

Faulty charging control units in affected vehicles could lead to a sudden loss of drive power, increasing crash risk.

The recall affects 145,235 Hyundai and Genesis EVs, including Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, and various Genesis models, as well as 62,872 Kia EV6 vehicles from 2022-2025.
A damaged Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) can prevent the 12-volt battery from charging, potentially causing vehicles to lose power while driving.
Owners of previously recalled vehicles for the same issue will need to return for additional repairs as the earlier fix proved insufficient.
Dealers will inspect and replace the ICCU and its fuse if necessary, and update the software free of charge starting in December and January.
No crashes, injuries, or fatalities related to this issue have been reported, but drivers are advised to monitor for warning messages and reduced power.
