Worldwide recall according to this 11 Oct news item.

Blue link is built into the car, no dongle needed.

 

Ok.
The AutoLink unit includes a 4G SIM card paid for by Hyundai (yes, I really paid for it when I bought the car ).
I ditched it because it also tracks exactly where you go (GPS) and how fast you get there.
Honestly, the data is more help to Hyundai than me.

 

I got the "Safety Recall" e-mail from Hyundai.us on 11/3. Have not yet called my dealer (Reeves, Cerritos, CA) yet. Anyone had it done at Reeves Cerritos?Hoping this dealer is OK doing this.

BTW, the e-mail was buried in my Spam folder.
Many thx for this forum.

Mine is an early 2019 model and has it, again in the U.S.

 

Hey, that's my dealer as well, haven't got the notice though and I am waiting to hear from others.

 

Ontario, Canada. Just received the written recall notice now. Advises parking away from structures. Doesn't mention anything about unplugging or maximum charge limits. Says it takes an hour. I'm in for tire swap and brakes service Dec. 2nd so I'll get it done then.

 

I did my recall last thursday, everything went pretty smoothly, did some fast charging on a trip on the weekend. The battery waiting check kicked in at exactly 90% and took 5-10 min (wasn't timing it or paying attention).

Range is about the same as before the update, but I can't give super concrete numbers since I went on a long trip after driving at 110km/h which is a lot higher than my usual 50-80 kph, so the GOM changed anyway.

My car also has a motor swap booked in for next moday because of the clicking noise issue, so my efficiency isn't the greatest right now, but it seemed unchanged.

 

Had my recall service done today. Dropped it off at 9am and picked up early afternoon, around 3pm. My invoice states that they only uploaded two modules as others had been done previously. I tried to get the service tech to explain in detail the service but he rushed me along. Plan on calling back tomorrow morning for a better explanation.

One aside, asked about winter tires for my car and he said it wasn’t needed as they come with all seasons. I said I had thought they were low resistance tires and may not be good for winter. I think he may have confused as gasoline Kona equipment with electric.

 

10 minute pause at 90% just as expected. Not really changing my daily experience but it’s still not pleasant knowing your car is performing worse than it did when you bought it.

 

That's really interesting. Mine doesn't stop at 80% or 90%. I'm wondering if they really did the job....

Yeah, it's not what you paid for.

 

So far, I have charged past 90% a few times and I only had a charging rate drop and it was around 82% and not at 90%.
Today I charged again on a 50kw charger from 21% to 90% with no pause.. Charged perfectly fine.. My range is back up to around 250 miles at 80% after building the new driving history... Kona still has impressive range..

 

Did a recharge from 25% to 90%, and it paused again. If I am just charging at home on L2. I barely notice. On DCFC, I would never charge that high.
