Hyundai and Kia Recall 170,000 Electric Cars Over Charging Problem

Hyundai and Kia recalled nearly 170,000 electric vehicles due to software failures in the charging control system—the component that manages power flow from charging stations to the battery. The problem prevents cars from charging or causes unpredictable behavior. The recall spans multiple brands and model years, suggesting a broader design issue in how the parent company built this critical software.
