JAKARTA - Kia must withdraw or recall the EV6 model in Australia as many as 4,551 units, due to potential errors in the software.

Based on Drive's report, quoted Monday, January 7, the EV6 electric car model affected by the 2021-2024 alert, which is possible to have been sold in the future.

"Due to software issues, the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) may have had an internal error, which may have caused the warning light to turn on in the 12 Volt instrument and battery cluster to stop while charging," the local Infrastructure Department reports.

The problem is said to result in a loss of power in the car, especially the motional force that can occur if the warning lights are ignored, and can increase the risk of accidents.

Not only that, this problem is also said to result in injury or death for vehicle passengers, or other road users. Of course, it is a concern for users.

Responding to the problems above, Kia Australia took steps to advise owners to immediately contact and schedule an appointment with a nearby dealer.

The move was taken to check the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU), and replace it if necessary. For those affected, all improvements to be made are free or free.
