(RightIsRight.co) – In another electric vehicle fiasco, South Korean manufacturers Hyundai and Kia are recalling over 200,000 electric vehicles due to potential power loss while driving.
See the tweet below.
The recall affects more than 145,000 Hyundai and Genesis vehicles, including models from 2022 to 2025, such as the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, GV60, GV70, and G80. Kia is also recalling nearly 63,000 EV6 vehicles from 2022 to 2024.
These “eco-friendly” cars might suddenly lose power while driving, putting American families at risk on our highways.
The root of the problem lies in a damaged transistor in the charging control unit, which can stop charging the 12-volt battery.
This defect could lead to a complete loss of drive power, increasing the risk of crashes and potentially endangering lives.
Dealers will be tasked with updating the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) software and inspecting and replacing units and fuses if necessary.
However, these companies have faced such issues before. Owners whose vehicles were recalled earlier this year for the same problem will need to return to the dealer, highlighting the ongoing nature of these EV complications.
The timing of this recall is particularly concerning. Hyundai owners will not be notified until January 17, 2025, while Kia owners will start receiving notifications on December 13.
This is not an isolated incident for these Korean automakers. Just last year, Hyundai and Kia recalled over 3.4 million vehicles due to engine compartment fire risks, advising owners to park outside until repairs were completed.
This latest recall affects models from 2022 to 2025, demonstrating that even the newest EVs are not immune to potentially life-threatening defects.
While the liberal media and the Biden administration continue to push for a rapid transition to electric vehicles, this recall serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers associated with
