Hyundai, Kia to Make Largest EV Recall since Launch of First EV Models
Hyundai Motor Group will launch a large-scale electric vehicle recall. It is the largest voluntary recall in three years since the automaker entered the market with an electric vehicle-only platform (E-GMP) in 2021. Hyundai and Kia will replace faulty integrated charging control units (ICCUs) in some of their EV models through this recall. The recall is expected to reach 170,000 vehicles in Korea. At the same time, Hyundai Motor Group will also recall them in major EV markets such as North America and Europe. In both Korean and overseas markets, the number of recalled vehicles is expected to hit 500,000.
The recall has been confirmed for electric vehicle models equipped with ICCUs including the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the Genesis GV60. The models to be recalled will be announced by the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport this week. Apart from Hyundai, Kia is also planning to recall vehicles using the same components. Kia’s EV6 and other models use ICCUs from the same manufacturer as the IONIQ 5.
