Hello everyone.

My Kona from the Korean internal market has VIN kmhk381gflu100221
It's a 2020 Kona Electric.
I can't decode VIN number to find out the exact month of production.
I'd like to know if my car is under battery recall or not.
Does anybody know how to check my VIN? I could not find any VIN decoder that decodes my VIN.

Affected VIN's Kona EV (OS EV): From KMHK381GUJU000203 To KMHK581GULU072444
The VIN shows year of manufacture only (Position10) where J = 2018. K=2019, L=2020, and M=2021

Yours is well after 072444

Your dealer should be able to confirm this for you!

mine says KU030237, is this number worldwide?, I have been wondering how many Kona EV's were Sold here in US alone.

And mines KU036530 and I'm in the UK. VIN positions 12 to 17 represent the unique serial number. VIN starting KMHK decodes as built in South Korea, ULSAN plant.

My kona shows a K, but it was built in Dec 2018.

How do you know it was built in December 2018?

If the tenth character in the VIN is a K it was built in 2019. (Note if you're reading the date off the label on the battery, that's when MOBIS built the battery system assembly).

the built date is right on the door panel, and I know it was dec 2018 because I took delivery in late January 2019
