Kia NA Safety Office informs ODI of its plan to conduct a voluntary service campaign for certain 2022-2023MY EV6 vehicles regarding the ICCU.
May 30, 2023
Kia NA Safety Office decides to conduct a voluntary service campaign (SC271) to address an over current condition in the high voltage system that can result in multiple warnings and gradual reductions in power. Three (3) cases report loss of motive power with warnings; no cases report loss of motive power without warnings. No injuries, crashes, fatalities or fires.
July 3, 2023
ODI opens PE23-012 to investigate “consumer report experiencing a reduced or complete loss of motive power during vehicle operation increasing the risk of a crash” involving 2022MY EV6 vehicles.
July 11, 2023—July 13, 2023
Kia NA issues SC271 dealer and owner notifications.
August 18, 2023—October 23, 2023
Kia NA submits responses to PE23-012 information requests and concludes no unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety exists due to 1) progressive and lengthy audible and visual warnings and messages, including instructing customer to stop the vehicle; 2) the ability to continue to drive vehicle with progressive reductions in power; and 3) low incident rate with no reported fires, accidents or injuries.

A damaged ICCU may not be able to charge the 12-volt battery which can discharge gradually while driving with progressive reductions of motive power. If the driver ignores the warnings associated with the discharging battery condition and continues to operate the vehicle in a reduced power mode, the vehicle may eventually experience a complete loss of motive power.
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : A loss of motive power increases the risk of a crash. Description of the Cause : Thermal loading and transient high voltage can damage the ICCU. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24V-200 Page 2 Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : Audible warning chimes and one or more of the following: Illumination of “Check Electric Vehicle System” warning light, Master warning light, Charging system warning light, “Stop vehicle and check power supply” warning light, power down (turtle) warning light and /or reductions in motive power.
