Hyundai electric vehicle recall overview:
- Who: Hyundai is recalling certain electric vehicles.
- Why: The battery may not charge properly, leading to a loss of drive power.
- Where: The Hyundai recall is active in the United States.
Hyundai is recalling more than 145,000 electric vehicles over concerns that the batteries might not charge properly, leading to a loss of drive power.
The Hyundai recall was published to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website on Nov. 21. It applies to certain model year 2022-2024 IONIQ 5, 2023-2025 IONIQ 6, Genesis GV60, Genesis GV70 “Electrified,” and model year 2023-2024 Genesis G80 “Electrified” vehicles.
According to the recall, the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) on the vehicles can become damaged and stop charging the 12-volt battery, which can result in a loss of drive power.
“If the vehicle is driven until the 12-volt battery state-of-charge is fully depleted the vehicle will lose all motive power, potentially increasing the risk of a crash,” the recall says.
Hyundai is not currently facing a lawsuit over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they can sometimes lead to legal action.
To fix the problem, Hyundai dealers will inspect and replace the ICCU and its fuse in the recalled vehicles, and update the ICCU software. All repairs will be performed free of charge, the recall says. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed Jan. 17, 2025.
Hyundai has also recalled more than 49,000 model year 2024 Santa Fe and Santa Fe HEV vehicles, as potential damage in the vehicles’ main floor wire harness could cause the airbags to inflate inadvertently, or to not inflate during a crash.

2 thoughts onHyundai announces electric vehicle recall due to potential charging defect
There are hundred and counting numbers of people facing the ICCU failure issue with Hyundai in particular the ioniq5 models. Hyundai is not providing these people loaner vehicles and have no time frame of when their vehicle will be fixed. Lemon law in CA has changed and some of these people who bought the faulty car used even before the law went into effect cannot be compensated fairly. Hyundai ignored many clients and cannot compensate them. The NHTSA is aware. It is negligence of Hyundai to produce such vehicles and repair the defective parts with the same parts leading to the same safety issue for their clients 2nd and 3rd time. There are enough people to open a class action lawsuit.
