Transport Canada recalls

High Voltage#2024700November 18, 2024
11,445 units affected
Issue: Over time, the integrated charging control unit (ICCU) could become damaged. As a result, the 12 V battery will not charge and could cause the vehicle to enter a reduced power mode. If this happens, and you continue to drive the vehicle, there could be a loss of power to the wheels. Note: This problem will cause a warning light to turn on and warning messages to display before any loss of power. This recall replaces Transport Canada recall no. 2024-173. Vehicles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair. Safety Risk: A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Kia will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the vehicle software.
