Reported risk: 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. The dealer will also inspect and, if necessary, replace the ICCU and ICCU fuse.
Verify each fact at the issuing agency before acting. Recall scope, affected lots, and remediation instructions may be updated by the agency after our last sync.
