KIA EV6 Recalls

The Kia EV6 has 8 recalls covering 2022–2024 model years, with the most serious being a charging control unit that can fail on 2022–2024 vehicles, stop replenishing the 12-volt battery, and cut drive power while the vehicle is in motion. The integrated charging control unit issue spans the full production run of these vehicles. Warning lights and messages typically appear before power is lost, but if the warnings are ignored and driving continues, the vehicle can lose all propulsion. This same underlying defect was addressed through multiple repair campaigns across 2022–2024 production. On 2023 models, a rear inner axle shaft can fracture under load and also cause a sudden loss of drive power. The 2022 model year has two separate concerns about unexpected vehicle movement when parked. In one, a software error in the shifter control unit can disengage the parking mechanism and allow the vehicle to roll away on its own. In another, the parking pawl can briefly release just after the vehicle is shut off, letting it move suddenly if the parking brake was not applied.
