Hyundai Australia has recalled 3566 examples of the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 electric vehicles (EVs), due to a fault which could lead to a loss of power.

“Due to a software issue in the Integrated Charging Control Unit, the auxiliary 12-volt battery may not charge as intended, resulting in battery drainage and loss of motive power,” the carmaker said in its recall notice.
