Hyundai And Kia Recall Vehicles Over Charging Unit Concerns

Hyundai Motor Co., Ltd. HYMTF and Kia America have reportedly recalled a combined 147,100 U.S. vehicles on Thursday.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) may become damaged and stop charging the 12-volt battery, which can lead to a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash, reported Reuters.

In particular, Hyundai will recall 98,878 vehicles, affecting certain Ioniq and Genesis models, while Kia will recall 48,232 vehicles impacting certain EV6 models.
