Just got the call from the dealer for this recall, apparently to set the maximum charge level to 80%. That won't be enough for the weekly round trip we have to make (destination charging not feasible) so now we'll have to use my 20mpg pickup.

This after I had to jumpstart a dead AC battery this morning. Main battery had a 90% charge so obviously it's not charging the AC. It's at the dealer now for assessment, but I suspect the last recall software upgrade has something to do with it. Something tells me they'll have the car for a while.

They're still saying "remedy not available" for Recall 200, who knows when that will happen. This car's losing its appeal for me really fast.

Today I received an email from BlueLink stating that the "'Max % Charge' Limit of your vehicle has been limited to 80%." I clicked on the 'Learn More' Link. Read blah blah blah. For kicks, I entered my VIN to verify that my vehicle was affected. There was instructions on how to adjust the charge level if vehicle not connected to BlueLink. There was also this bullet point: "You must go to the dealership to verify or adjust 'Max % Charge' level reduced to 80%. Once verified at the dealership you will receive a $200. gift card due to the inconvenience of reduction of range. Please provide the dealer with a valid email address and allow 10 business days for processing."
I lease my vehicle with option to purchase (23K) in Oct 2022. If Hyundai doesn't replace the battery by end of lease, I intend to go into arbitration for cost reduction.
 
I got the SNAIL MAIL from Hyundai about this Recall 200 - telling me I "MUST" go to the Service Center to have the 80% Max Charge confirmed, as Suzanne mentioned above. Unable to ever actually TALK to the Service Center (on perpetual HOLD every time), I decided to swing by with the form in hand. She looked up my VIN & said actually there are now 2 Recall Campaigns associated with the 80% MAX confirmation. And of course RECALL 200 is "NO REMEDY AVILABLE YET">
