Recall 196 now shows on US Hyundai Recall website..

Every time there is a regen while driving, there is a charging cycle. They wouldn't design a car to do that if it was harmful to your battery.

 

I just tested my charger. When I turn on the power. It takes a good 15 seconds for the the charger to communicate with the car and energize and for the current to flow. I have received notification that charging is complete and I have received notifications that it can't charge ( because it already complete). This appears to be a notification glitch in the software not a charging issue, at least in my case.

 

I leave my car plugged in all the time. I have it set to time of day charging. Ever since I reloaded the Bluelink app last week I get a notification that my charging has completed at the exact time charging is set to begin (7:30pm). This is despite the fact that the car has been fully charged to its set limit for days without being driven. In the nearly two years I've had the car Bluelink had never once sent me a notification when charging was done. I don't believe it's charging at all. I believe Bluelink is just a piece of crap.

 

Even before the update I found that regen at 100% was spotty and highly dependent on temperature. At low temperatures, even with plenty of battery headroom, the car would sometimes disallow regen. At 100% it would sometimes allow it and sometimes not.

 

My car told me regen is not possible last week at 90% charge. But then breaking using the paddle still worked seemingly unaffected.

 

I think regen is very different from what happens with 220 service, but I get the point. Maybe I'm overreacting to the change. I do find it interesting the different views on blue link. The problems others have had I've never experienced.

 

It’s entirely possible that the left paddle hold reverts to the hydraulic brakes for safety if regen is unavailable. I suspect that the motor-actuated part of the master cylinder would handle this condition. But, it would also be clearly audible.

 

Actually we moved due to me and my wife both losing our jobs due to covid-19. We're in New Mexico now and currently it's pretty chilly here, but I don't feel like Regen is any different from what it was in Vegas or before the update.

I highly doubt that. I would have felt the difference and I'm pretty sure left paddle never activated the disc brakes.

 

Had the software update.
Fast charge at 42 kW. To 60%.
Then charge rate dropped to 34 kW.
At 65 or 70% charge rate dropped again to 23 kW.

If conditions prohibit regen on my car the paddle does squat. Zero deceleration. It can be a bit of a panic sometimes.

 

So, is the fixed regen (1-3) slowdown effect also missing such that it just coasts?

I haven't seen the notification message appear myself but am rarely at 100%.

 

Yes. If I take my foot off the accelerator it just coasts. Same if I pull the paddle . I get a warning ding and a message.

 

I had to reset the Auto Regen after the BMS recall, then everything was back to normal. But my ECO mode stayed with Regen Level 3.

 

Does this only happen for 100% charge?

My recall was done.With COVID19,I haven't really needed to drive again so I actually need to charge with a lower SOC.I did notice my range "increased"above the EPA/Transport Canada rated range post the recall software update - positive. I am curious what's going to happen to me beyond this given the varied results. I will not be happy if my charge time's increased so HMC can protect their messed up LG Li-ion.

Comical.I asked the service manager how will I know if the software worked,what should happen,eg.range impact?" No idea."

 

I would have said, "Your car might not catch fire". LOL.

 

It seems lacking from Hyundai that a FAQ isn't included with the TSB to answer common questions customers might pose such that they can be answered with at least an appearance of confidence.

 

I think in general Hyundai as well as most car manufacturers like to say as little as possible about their problems so as not to beg more questions. They also don't want to give their competition any ammunition they might use against them, as well as not divulge any proprietary technology.
