Nearly 46,000 electric vehicles from Kia, Hyundai and Genesis are being recalled in Canada over a potential power loss issue that can increase the risk of a crash.
Nearly 46,000 electric vehicles are being recalled in Canada over a potential power loss issue that can increase the risk of a crash.
Announced this week, the recalls affect certain 2022 to 2025 models from Kia, Hyundai and Genesis. A total of 45,974 electric vehicles are impacted in Canada. More than half of these vehicles were subject to similar recalls earlier this year and will need to be repaired again. The same issue has led to a recall of more than 208,000 vehicles in the U.S.
According to Transport Canada's recall notices, the integrated charging control unit in these vehicles can become damaged over time. If this occurs, an auxiliary battery will not charge and the vehicle will go into a reduced power mode.
"If this happens, and you continue to drive the vehicle, there could be a loss of power to the wheels," Transport Canada cautioned. "A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash."
A warning light and messages should appear before losing power.
The recalls affect the following models:
