NHTSA Complaint #11717215 — 2022 KIA EV6

This electric vehicle would not charge from a 120VAC or 240VAC source. It would charge using HVDC. It has been repaired by a KIA dealership and therefore the part is not available for inspection. I don't know that anyone's highway safety was at risk because the vehicle continued to operate normally and could be recharged, although not at home. That said, the failure presented as a dead-short to the EVSE, causing the circuit breaker to activate. If the home were improperly wired, I suppose an electrical fire could have occurred. The component that failed and was replaced is the "ICCU," the same component which was subject to a NHTSA recall for failing to maintain 12V power for charging the auxiliary battery and powering the 12V auxiliary equipment. The vehicle was inspected by a KIA dealer and the defective part was replaced. There was no advance warning. One day the vehicle charged normally. The next day, it did not. I am providing this information because NHTSA should have a complete a record of the KIA ICCU failure history as possible.
