ICCU Flaws Put Hyundai, Kia, Genesis EVs at Risk of Power Loss, CR Finds

Consumer Reports warns that Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis electric vehicles can experience ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failures that compromise the 12-volt system and cause power loss or inoperable features, even with adequate main-battery charge. CR surveyed about 380,000 owners; ICCU-related issues affected roughly 2–10% of Hyundai/Kia EV owners, far higher than typical charging problems. The fault stems from a transistor in the ICCU failing due to overvoltage at the start or end of charging. Repairs vary from software updates to replacing the ICCU and fuse plus a coolant flush, with some costs reimbursed. Hyundai says parts are shipping and some expenses will be reimbursed; Kia has parts in stock; Genesis did not comment. The Ioniq 5 performed relatively well in CR’s testing, but ICCU reliability drags overall scores and recalls have occurred in the past.

Hyundai forfeits Russian buyback rights as auto exodus continues

Hyundai Motor Group did not exercise its option to repurchase its former factory in St. Petersburg by the January deadline, making it the second foreign carmaker to lose the buyback right as sanctions and the war in Ukraine continue to reshape Russia’s auto market. Hyundai and Kia suspended operations in 2022; Hyundai sold the plant to AGR Automotive Group in 2024 for 140,000 won and its vehicles have since been marketed under the Solaris brand, while Hyundai says it will still provide warranty and after-sales support for vehicles already sold. Mazda was the first to lose buyback rights in November 2025, and other brands such as Renault, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and Toyota have exited Russia, leaving Chinese automakers to fill the gap.
