Hyundai Australia has recalled 3566 examples of the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 electric vehicles (EVs), due to a fault which could lead to a loss of power.
“Due to a software issue in the Integrated Charging Control Unit, the auxiliary 12-volt battery may not charge as intended, resulting in battery drainage and loss of motive power,” the carmaker said in its recall notice.
“A loss of motive power whilst driving could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.”
