'ICCU Issue' Hyundai·Kia Recall 140,000 Vehicles in the US
Hyundai Motor Company and Kia are recalling approximately 147,100 vehicles in the United States due to a malfunction in the charging control device.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced on the 21st (local time) that it plans to recall 98,878 Ioniq and Genesis models from Hyundai, and 48,232 EV6 models from Kia. NHTSA stated that damage to the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) can stop charging of the 12V battery, which may cause loss of driving power and increase the risk of collision.
On the 14th, NHTSA also announced a recall of about 28,000 Genesis vehicles from Hyundai. The agency explained that the recall was due to the possibility of oil leakage, which could increase the risk of engine fire.
