More Than 240,000 Hyundai, Genesis And Kia Cars Recalled For Safety

More than 240,000 cars from South Korean automakers Hyundai, Genesis and Kia are being recalled in the United States and Canada over various safety concerns, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a series of announcements.

In one of two separate notices, NHTSA announced the recall of certain electrical vehicles from Hyundai, Kia and Genesis, citing a loss of drive power from damaged charging units that “increases the risk of a crash.”

The recalls potentially affect more than 62,872 units from Kia and 145,235 units from Hyundai and Genesis, a luxury division owned by Hyundai Motor Group. Most of the recalled units from Hyundai and Genesis were produced for sale in the United States, but about 34,529 were produced for sale in Canada, Ira Gabriel, senior group manager for corporate and marketing PR at Hyundai, said in an email.

The vehicle models listed under the recalls include 2022-2024 models of the Kia EV6, 2023-2024 models of the Genesis G80 EV, 2023-2025 models of the Genesis GV60, 2023-2025 models of the Genesis GV70 EV, 2022-2024 models of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 2023-2025 models of the Hyundai Ioniq 6.
