- The voluntary recall affects the Kia EV6 manufactured between March 3, 2022, and April 14, 2023.
Kia India has announced a voluntary recall for the EV6 luxury electric SUV. The voluntary recall involves 1,380 units of the Kia EV6, which were manufactured between March 3, 2022, and April 14, 2023. The company said that the recall was due to a potential issue in the integrated charging control unit (ICCU), which may affect the performance of the 12-volt auxiliary battery on the vehicle.
Kia EV6 Recalled Again
This would be the second time that the Kia EV6 has been recalled in India, the all-electric offering was recalled last year as well for the same issue involving the ICCU. Kia will proactively contact the owners for a quick software update on the vehicle. Alternatively, customers can reach out to their respective dealers and book an appointment for a service update. The automaker has begun reaching out to the affected customers.

In the cabin, the updated Kia EV6 gets a new two-spoke steering wheel, a fingerprint sensor for keyless driver recognition, an improved Head-up Display (HUD) unit, and a new digital rearview mirror.
