Again, thank you for these videos! I didn't receive this mail yet here in US, but I took my car in last week to replace the 12v battery on Warranty and they told me there was this software update. So they did all it. 100% free. 2022 GT-Line 26k miles.
Only had one recall for my EV6 in Australia so far (after two years of ownership) the original ICCU update. The car has been flawless, still love it !!!
With no mail service, they didn't have a choice 😂. I'm getting the car into the dealer on Monday. I'm glad my nearby kia dealer became ev certified and I don't have a 40 minute drive and wait at the dealer for a hour or so. I replaced my 12 volt battery with a Canadian tire glass mat battery with 5 year 100% replacement vs paying pro-rated coverage for the OEM battery and fussing around getting the battery qualified for warranty coverage.
I've had my EV6 GTL1 since October 2022 with about 75K KMs. I got my letter today through Purolator. I have not had the 12V battery issue until two days ago. I went to a store nearby and came out to start the car back up. It gave a red flashing light in the instrument panel and told me there's an issue with the 12V battery and also said to pull over immediately. I was able to boost it using a portable jumper I had in the car. I have not seen the warning since then even after about 200km of driving yesterday. I'm going to bring it in tomorrow to have them do the recall.
I too had my battery replaced on my 2024 EV6 GT Line. It had 12,000 km and was 1 month over the warranty. They charged me 25% of a new battery or $75 Cdn $. I asked why the battery had died so early and their reply was, "we don't know what you do with your car." Implying it was my fault somehow. I have an appointment to take my car in for this recall on Tuesday. I will be asking them about my having to pay for the last battery. Be interesting to see their response.
My ICCU and fuse failed at exactly 24 months of ownership and both replaced under warranty just before the new recall came out. My 12v battery is still going strong though so not all ICCU issues will damage the 12v battery.
@johnfarrell9116 Had it towed on a Friday around noon but they didn't look at it until Tuesday. They ordered the part for next day delivery and received the car back on Wednesday afternoon.

You're right. I didn't think about the Canada Post strike 🤣

Excellent 👍🏽

I paid 75% or $215 for my battery and when I asked why the battery died, they said that's the life of these batteries. I have a video on it.
@@HighOnCars1 Two years is a usual life of a car battery? I know it's an EV but that's hard to belive. Don't use the ACC mode everyone.

You're lucky the 12V battery didn't die. Good for you.
