Hyundai and Kia Recall 208,000 EVs

Hyundai and Kia are recalling over 208,000 electric vehicles, including 145,000 Hyundai and Genesis models and nearly 63,000 Kia EV6 vehicles, due to a defect in the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) that can cause a loss of drive power, increasing crash risks. The recall affects models from 2022 to 2025, such as the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, GV60, GV70, and G80. Dealers will inspect and replace the ICCU and its fuse, as well as update the software to prevent future issues. Owners will be notified via mail starting in December for Kia and January for Hyundai and Genesis. This follows a previous recall earlier in the year for the same issue, highlighting ongoing concerns with these electric vehicles. The repairs will be conducted free of charge, and owners are encouraged to check their vehicle's recall status through the NHTSA database.
