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

Hyundai, Genesis, and Kia have issued a major recall for more than 208,000 electric vehicles across the United States. The issue stems from a defect in the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU), which can damage the 12-volt battery. This problem can result in a complete loss of drive power, increasing the risk of accidents.


Details of the Recall

Affected Vehicles and Model Years:

  • Hyundai Ioniq 5 (2022–2024)
  • Hyundai Ioniq 6 (2023–2025)
  • Genesis GV60 (2023–2025)
  • Genesis Electrified GV70 (2023–2024)
  • Genesis Electrified G80 (2023–2024)
  • Kia EV6 (2022–2024)

This is not the first time these brands have faced such issues. A similar recall was issued earlier in March 2024 for the same defect. Unfortunately, owners who participated in that recall will need to revisit their dealership for further repairs.


The Issue Explained

The ICCU in these vehicles has a defective transistor that may fail, preventing the 12-volt battery from charging. Without proper charging, the vehicle’s propulsion system can lose power completely, leaving drivers stranded and increasing crash risks.


What Owners Need to Do

To resolve the issue, Hyundai, Genesis, and Kia dealerships will:

  • Inspect and, if necessary, replace the ICCU and associated fuse.
  • Perform a software update to correct the defect.

All repairs are free of charge. Notifications for Kia owners will be sent starting December 13, 2024, while Hyundai and Genesis owners can expect to receive their letters beginning January 17, 2025.
