Hyundai, Kia, BMW Recall 107,158 Vehicles Over Fire Risk
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 25th that manufacturing defects had been found in 37,690 vehicles across four models, including the Hyundai Kona Electric, the Ioniq converted electric vehicle, and the Elec City (including double-decker buses), and that the company would voluntarily take corrective action (recall).
It was determined that inadequate design of the battery management system software could fail to detect high-voltage battery problems in advance, creating a risk of fire. Corrective action will begin on the 27th. Similar measures will also be taken for 1,590 units of the Kia Niro Electric for the same reason.
