Kia is recalling 22,915 Soul EV vehicles manufactured between 2014 and 2018 to authorised workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that the battery management system may not recognise abnormal voltage conditions shortly before a short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
In an authorised workshop, the software of high-voltage battery management system (BMS) is updated and BMS replaced if necessary.
The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “013669“. The internal manufacturer code is “231118“.
