Hyundai Motor is recalling approximately 145,235 electrified vehicles in the United States due to a potential issue with drive power loss. The recall affects select IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, and Genesis GV60, GV70, G80 models from 2022 to 2025. The problem stems from damaged integrated charging control units, which can stop the 12-volt battery from charging, leading to a loss of drive power. Hyundai will address the issue by inspecting, replacing, and updating the software and fuse on the affected parts at no cost to the owners.
In addition to this recall, Hyundai had previously recalled over 34,000 vehicles earlier due to a sunshade defect in the 2024 Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid models. The issue involved the overhead console rear sunshade switch knob, which may not have been fully recessed, causing the sunshade to unexpectedly close and pose a risk of injury to passengers. Hyundai dealers will replace the faulty knobs free of charge.

The affected models included Genesis G70, Hyundai Elantra N, Hyundai Kona N, and Hyundai Veloster N.
These recalls highlight ongoing safety concerns across multiple Hyundai models, with the company taking action to address various issues and ensure the safety of its vehicles.
