Kia India has announced a voluntary recall for its flagship electric SUV, the EV6, citing the need for a software update in its Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU). The recall aims to enhance the charging process and optimize the performance of the 12V auxiliary battery, which powers essential features like lights, wipers, and the music system.
Kia EV6 recall: Is your car affected?
This recall impacts 1,380 units of the EV6 manufactured between March 3, 2022, and April 14, 2023. Kia has stated that the update is part of an effort to improve the overall ownership experience of the EV6. Owners of the affected vehicles will be notified directly, and they are encouraged to visit authorized Kia dealerships to get the software update.
Last year, Kia had recalled 1,138 units due to a potential issue with the ICCU, which could have impacted the auxiliary battery’s ability to charge. A similar recall was also issued for the Hyundai Ioniq 5, which shares the same E-GMP platform as the EV6.
Meanwhile, Kia India is gearing up to launch the facelifted version of the EV6, which was showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. The updated model features a larger 84 kWh battery pack, offering an improved range of up to 650 km in the rear-wheel-drive variant.
