Kia EV6 charging unit failure can cut drive power
high How serious is it? About this label
Serious — losing drive power in traffic raises the risk of a crash; the notice does not tell owners to stop driving, but do not put this repair off.
What's wrong, in plain English
The part that keeps the car's small 12-volt battery topped up can be damaged and stop charging it. If that happens, the EV6 can lose drive power while you are on the road. Dealers will inspect that unit and its fuse, replace either one if needed, and update its software. Important: this recall replaces an earlier 2024 recall, so even if your car was already repaired under that one, it needs this newer fix too.
What you should do
2. Call your Kia dealer, or Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542 (recall SC327), and get on the schedule soon.
3. Have the repair done even if your car was fixed under the earlier recall 24V-200; all work is free.
