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

[Tim94549]

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.

Look like they will limit your charge down to 90% in order to prepare for a battery replacement. Btw do you have a 19 model?

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.

BMS update wasn’t properly applied to some cars previously, this « recall » is just to check that it is.

What is your source for this?

Any time that they do an update, your range will go back to default. As you drive for the next 300 miles, your range will get back to where it was.. I checked my VIN and there are no open recalls for my 2019.. I had 2 battery recalls done (Campaign 960, 196) and of course the brake system upgrade..

When I last went in, I only had 1 open recall (brake one) when I checked it, but there were 2 more that the dealer had.

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.

People tend to use the word "recall" a bit too loosely. There are "service campaigns" that have nothing to do with recalls. Recall has a specific legal meaning. This could explain difference between the recall website(s) and the dealer(s).

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 !
