Genesis Australia has recalled 572 electric vehicles (EVs) across the GV60, Electrified GV70 and Electrified G80 model lines, due to a shared fault which can lead to a loss of power.
“Due to a software issue in the Integrated Charging Control Unit, the auxiliary 12-volt battery may not charge as intended, resulting in battery drainage and loss of motive power,” the carmaker said in its recall notice.
“A loss of motive power whilst driving could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.”
