Just had another recall done - Campaign T5V for BMS (Feb 2021)

So another month another recall. The printed recall sheet = "KONA EV Inspection & BMS Update for Revised Monitoring Logic Application (Service Campaign T5V)"

Has to do with after last campaign 196 ... Checking the "ROM ID" of the battery pack.

 

Nope.. As a test, that evening, I in fact charged to 100% when I got home from the service center. I DID note that I now get only 290 miles on a 100% Charge. (Last summer I got 300 & 311 on 2 different 100% charges.) Soul EV Spy shows all my cells at 4.14-4.16 amps at 100% charge. I don't normally charge to 100% .. always just to 80% unless I have a long trip planned. I really have to wonder if a "FULL BATTERY REPLACEMENT" will happen to ALL Kona's in the USA ... Yea, I've seen the supposed RECALL plan from Hyundai.

 

I agree - the HYUNDAI VIN Recall site doesn't seem to have the same info as at the Dealerships. I had checked mine online and nothing showed as due. However when I chatted with the Service center about a separate issue, she said I had an open recall due. I told her I was "just in early December for a recall". She said this just came out early FEB. I also got a 4 page print out of the Recall. It is functionally a check of the Battery Mgt System (BMS) for faulty (out of tolerance) batteries. I can snap some pics of it if anyone wants to see it. And yes, I had 2 OTHER "BMS Recalls" & the "BRAKING Recall" done last year as well.

 

Thanks for clarifying ... Yea, I'm one of those using the term as if one in the same.. This in fact was a "SERVICE CAMPAIGN" ... I've attached a pic & will try to change the SUBJECT header to be more accurate. Thanks !
