Kia EV6 ICCU Recall SC327: Why a Previous Fix May Not End the Story

The campaign history matters more than any simple description of “12-volt battery trouble.” Kia specifically connects high-voltage transients and therma.

Research checked 2026-10-24. Individual vehicle eligibility must be confirmed with the manufacturer or regulator.

The official action and its boundaries

On 2024-11-18, the responsible United States record documented campaign 24V867 / SC327 involving EV6. Its published coverage is MY2022-24 (US model years). This is a dated summary of a specific official safety action, not a new mechanical diagnosis or a claim about the whole global nameplate.

The notice qualifies applicability as follows: 2022-23 EV6 and certain 2024 vehicles; Kia Q&A approximately 62,872; previous SC302 vehicles included. The U.S. record uses NHTSA campaign numbering and model years. Owners should check nhtsa.gov/recalls and the manufacturer, because a historical notice and a vehicle’s present open status are different data.

The identified safety concern

The regulator or manufacturer describes this concern: ICCU failure may stop 12V battery charging with progressive warnings/power reduction and eventual loss of propulsion. It is an identified possibility within a defined campaign, not a prediction that an owner’s vehicle will fail. The population count, where supplied, means potentially involved vehicles, not that every vehicle in the list actually experienced the hazard or that a specified percentage failed.

The campaign history matters more than any simple description of “12-volt battery trouble.” Kia specifically connects high-voltage transients and thermal cycling to possible ICCU damage and says some vehicles treated under earlier SC302 were included again. An owner should check the new campaign number separately.

Remedy recorded in the official notice

The source’s documented corrective approach is: Dealers inspect ICCU and fuse, replace if needed, and install improved software. This is the notice/remedy evidence available in the source reviewed on 2026-10-24; it does not establish that work has been completed on any particular vehicle.

Safety campaign documents may be amended, expanded or replaced. Confirm the current instructions and open/closed status with the official brand network using the vehicle identity. Do not carry out unapproved repairs or deliberately recreate the alleged fault to see whether the car qualifies.

What an owner or used-car buyer should do

Kia advises towing to a dealer promptly when the described battery, EV-system or power-down warnings occur. That is not a reason to diagnose a high-voltage unit yourself. Used EV6 paperwork should identify the later SC327 remedy rather than just a 2024 software service.

Retain the country, campaign ID 24V867 / SC327, original notice date and dated repair confirmation in the vehicle history. If you experience hazardous steering, braking, sudden propulsion loss, smoke, fire or loss of visibility, follow the vehicle maker’s emergency instructions and obtain professional assistance.
