Kia India has voluntarily recalled 1,380 units of the EV6 SUV manufactured from March 3, 2022, to April 14, 2023. The recall is because of a software update in the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) to enhance the charging and performance of the 12V auxiliary battery. This battery powers the car's lights, wipers and music system of the Kia EV6.
