ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
- The defect
- Kia America, Inc. (Kia) is recalling certain 2022-2024 EV6 vehicles. The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) may become damaged and stop charging the 12-volt battery, which can result in a loss of drive power.
- What it can cause
- A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the ICCU and its fuse, as necessary. In addition, dealers will update the ICCU software. All repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 13, 2024. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC327. This recall expands and replaces previous recall number 24V-200. Vehicles previously repaired under recall 24V-200 will need to have the new remedy completed.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 62,872 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 90% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Kia vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 23 times before this, most recently in October 2024 as 24V757000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 481 complaints with NHTSA, 166 of them before this campaign was filed. 362 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in April 2022, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 26V431000 (electrical system), 24V200000 (electrical system), 24V057000 (power train), 22V322000 (parking brake).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Kia America, Inc. with NHTSA on November 18, 2024 as campaign 24V867000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
