Hyundai Cars Ireland is initiating a voluntary recall affecting multiple models, including the Hyundai Kona, i30, and Ioniq 6. The Kona recall is due to faulty battery monitoring software that fails to detect thermal instability in the high-voltage battery, which could increase the risk of fire. This recall impacts 3,483 vehicles produced between 24 January 2018 and 15 July 2023 in the Republic of Ireland.
The i30 model is being recalled because its driver-side airbag inflator may rupture during deployment. If this occurs, the airbag may not inflate properly, and fragments could pose a risk to occupants in the event of a crash. This recall affects 2 vehicles manufactured between 07 December 2008 and 24 February 2009.
Additionally, the Ioniq 6 is being recalled due to a safety issue with the charging port door outer panel, which may detach while driving. This detachment could create a road hazard and increase the risk of an accident. The recall includes 700 vehicles produced between 29 August 2022 and 03 January 2025.
Affected customers will be contacted directly by Hyundai Cars Ireland to schedule appointments with local dealers or authorized repairers for necessary work.
