Hyundai issues two electric vehicle recalls due to battery charging fault

Hyundai has recalled over 4000 of its electric vehicles due to a charging fault. Picture: ON FILE

Hyundai has recalled 528 Genesis 2022-2024 G80, GV60, GV70 and 3521 Hyundai 2021-2024 IONIQ 5 (NE) and IONIQ 6 (CE) electric cars due to a fault that may cause the battery to fail to charge properly.

Due to a software issue in the Integrated Charging Control Unit, the auxiliary 12 Volt battery may not charge as intended, resulting in battery drainage and loss of motive power.

A loss of motive power whilst driving could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.

Owners of affected vehicles can contact their nearest authorised Genesis Motor Australia dealership to schedule an appointment to have the software updated, free of charge.
