This page covers 6 recalls and 263 owner complaints for the 2022 Kia Ev6.
Electrical system complaints dominate the 2022 KIA EV6 owner report pool by a wide margin, with the integrated charging control unit (ICCU) standing out as the most frequently cited component. Owners describe a consistent failure pattern: the ICCU stops functioning, which then pulls down the 12V battery, leaving the vehicle unable to start or drive. Several owners report the vehicle giving no warning signs before going dead, while others mention audio cutting out for weeks beforehand as an early symptom. Charging failures are also common, owners plug in overnight on Level 1 or Level 2 circuits and find the vehicle hasn't charged at all. Some owners report the ICCU failing a second time shortly after replacement. The propulsion and powertrain categories draw a smaller but notable share of complaints, generally describing unexpected power loss while driving.

By System
The 2022 KIA EV6 has 6 recalls, the most serious involving the integrated charging control unit, which can fail and cut power to the wheels while driving.
The charging control unit defect appears across multiple filings but describes the same problem: the unit degrades over time, stops charging the 12-volt battery, and can eventually cause a complete loss of drive power. Warning lights and messages will appear before any power loss occurs. There are also two separate rollaway concerns. A software error in the shifter control unit can disengage the parking mechanism while the vehicle is parked, allowing it to roll. Separately, the parking pawl can briefly release just after the vehicle is shut off, which can cause sudden unexpected movement if the parking brake is not set.
