Hyundai Cars Ireland is conducting a voluntary recall for specific models of their vehicles due to safety concerns. The affected models include the Hyundai Kona, i30, and Ioniq 6, with a total of 4,185 vehicles impacted in the Republic of Ireland. Each model has distinct issues that pose safety risks to drivers and passengers.
The Hyundai Kona, produced between January 24, 2018, and July 15, 2023, has faulty battery monitoring software that fails to detect thermal instability in the high-voltage battery, increasing the risk of fire. Meanwhile, the Hyundai i30, manufactured from December 7, 2008, to February 24, 2009, features a driver-side airbag inflator that could rupture during deployment, potentially causing injury to occupants if the airbag does not inflate properly.
Additionally, the Hyundai Ioniq 6, produced between August 29, 2022, and January 3, 2025, has a safety issue with its charging port door outer panel. Insufficient engagement of the panel may lead to detachment while driving, creating a hazard for other road users and increasing the risk of a crash.
