Hyundai is recalling more than 98,000 cars due to potentially damaged charging units, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced on Thursday.

The car manufacturer is recalling several Ioniq and Genesis models because the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) may become damaged and stop charging the 12-volt battery, which can result in a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash, according to the NHTSA.

Owners of impacted models could take their cars to dealers who will inspect and replace the ICCU and its fuse, as necessary. Repairs will be free of charge. Dealers will also update the ICCU software.

Hyundai will mail out owner notification letters on May 14, 2024, but owners can also call the manufacturer's customer service line at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 257/021G.

Owners can also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).
