I just got a message from CarFax stating that a remedy was available for the fuel pump recall on the Clarity. I don't know if I should pay too much attention to it, since we are supposed to receive a letter from Honda in the fall in order to go to the dealer. But in my case, since I recently...

I read lots of information on EVs by the various manufacturers and reviewers, but little is mentioned about the quality of the components that make up the electrics, the suspension, the body, interior, etc. As we know from a multitude of reviews, some manufacturers of traditional gasoline...
GM has released an update for 2017-2019 and 2022-2023 model year Bolts, with 2020-2021 coming soon. This update is to address specific issues and enhancements to the Advanced Diagnostic Software.
FYI -- The latest recall notice for Hyundai Kona EV battery replacement says:
"If you believe that the dealer or Hyundai has failed or is unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable time, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200...
In order to restore confidence in GM EV products, Bolt owners should have batteries replaced with GM's new Ultium batteries. The inconvenience we are having to bear plus the fear of fire we are having to endure surely deserves this fix by GM. Tell me I'm right or wrong.
Hello everyone,
While I've been following Inside EVs for years, I am only just now joining the forums.
With the Bolt recall going on, I'm curious whether now is a good time to buy a used Bolt. My thinking is, I could get a good price as the fires have surely spooked a few potential buyers...
Are you the owner of a 2021 or 2022 Kona Electric who has gotten this message on their dash?
If so, please respond and post. Basically, I am trying to find out how widespread this issue is.
I received the message about 3 months after buying my 2021 Kona Electric (13000km). It stopped my car...
We purchased our 2021 Hyundai Kona EV in May. The charging was inconsistent. The car has 3200 miles on it, and it will not start. We had it towed to the dealership, and the whole EV battery is bad. It has the same LG battery as the 2019-2020 models that have the recall. Hyundai quit selling the...
BMW and Mini Vehicles Recalled to Fix Child Car Seat Problem
Over 21,000 vehicles from multiple BMW-owned brands are being recalled to fix faulty passenger seat belt retractors that could pose an issue for anyone trying to install a child car seat.
But what is a "2021" MINI exactly? Is it the...
I did two Videos about the software updates related to the recall.
The first one lists the software updates and changes. (link at the end of this video)
In this second one I am testing the DC quick charge speed and highlight the changes to it.
I hope this shines some light on it:
Certain 2019-2020 Kona's are being recalled because of a battery issue than can result in a fire when fully charged.
There is an extensive thread on the battery recall in the Kona EV forum.
With 6707 being recalled in the US, that is 10-15% of all US Kona's.
With the battery packs coming...
I got a letter from Chevrolet that they would replace the manual service disconnect fuse on my Bolt because it might pop open and make the car inoperable. Here's the NHTSA documentation. I'm glad they're addressing it, but I'm confused why it isn't a formal recall.
Anyways, if you have a Bolt...
Saw a post in one of the FB group. Logged into Myhyundai and searched for recalls with my VIN and found I had the below recall:
KONA HIGH VOLT.BATTERY UPD.(20-01-018H) Recall Code:960
I have a 2019 Hyundain Kona EV SEL trim. It has around 12800 Miles on it. The KONA was purchased in July 2019...
Hi all,
Just thought I'd pass this along. I took my car in to the dealer because after my first fill-up, the HV range was 1,000mi! :) Unfortunately, this wasn't accurate :( It happened again after my 2nd fill-up, same thing. Perhaps because I only had two fill-ups in 6 months?
I purchased...
I've had my Clarity for just over a week. At the time of purchase, the service manager told me to bring the car in the next few days so they could take care of all the bulletins and recalls pending in the car and that they had to order parts for one of the recalls (something about the AC unit?)...
I took my Clarity in for what I thought was a fix for an "Abnormal Water Temperature Reading." The service recall stated "Replace the climate control unit" But later down the page it says "Correction: Replace the A/C control unit. Are they the same thing?

I've had my Clarity for about month. I live in an apartment, so I've been using public chargers since. Didn't have any issues until yesterday. After plugging in the charger, it stopped popped up a CEL. I started my car and it showed the, "POWER SYSTEM - Plug-in Charging System Problem. Range...
Hopefully our Claritys will be bullet proof, but for piece of mind here is a link to the DOT National Highway Traffic Safety Administration where you can sign up for email notification of any recall...
