Recall 196 now shows on US Hyundai Recall website..

I’m in Vernon, BC.
FYI. I booked a couple of weeks ago to have winter tires switched on tomorrow. When I called to confirm the appointment today, I was told they will be keeping the car longer for the recall service. So, recall service is proceeding here in Canada too.

 

Between reading the TSB and seeing the recall work is only taking 2-3 hours, it seems clear the Hyundai is NOT physically dropping and inspecting each battery. They are just updating software. Did I read something wrong?

 

I don't use Bluelink. Have no need for it.

 

”Inspect” does not imply that it’s visual nor that the battery should removed. Best as we understand the software alone makes an assessment.

 

Thats probably it. I believe they can check for ground faults as well.

Unless there is something specific to look for, a visual inspection won't tell you much. Plus you would need the lift table and special coolant.

 

Just scheduled mine for a week after Thanksgiving (earliest the dealership could do was the day before Thanksgiving -- I think they have one tech who does hybrid and electric).

 

Had my appointment today (Friday) for recall /. it took 1.5 hours plus tire rotation. Seems all is well.

 

Please report back on charge times.

 

I charge it-slow charging-at 100% twice a week at night while I sleep. Sorry, is this what you meant? Have done this for one and one-half years with no problems.

 

No, I meant the quick charging issues people have reported

 

Sorry again-I can't help you. Don't have any quick charging issues only do slow

 

One of the things we're all trying to figure out if is the update affects charge times. According to the documentation the vehicle is supposed to pause for ten minutes at either 80% or 90% (depending on where it started) to do some sort of testing routine.

There are also a handful of complaints that charging speeds were severely reduced after the update, though those are a bit unclear exactly what the circumstances are. (Edit: this pertains to fast charging only AFAIK, which it seems you don't do so I guess don't worry about it!)

If your setup allows for data logging of any kind, people here would be interested to know if your charging is paused or takes longer than usual.

 

Thanks for the info. Just had it done today so would not know at any rate. Will keep info in mind for future.
