Is the kia also prone to the same iccu issues as the hyundais?
Yes. Kias are on the same e-GMP platform, all of which seem to suffer from the ICCU issues. It's also unclear whether the software updates have fixed the issues, or whether more recent model years have fixed the hardware.
But Kia/Hyundai have at least extended the warranties on the ICCUs to 15 years in most countries, including in Germany where OP lives.
15 years, 290,000 kms in Canada.
Meanwhile, Detroit does nothing until a class action is filled.
I haven't had this issue with the EV9 but I've heard of it
As someone who's Kia is currently in the shop to get a blown ICCU fixed, yes.
Which is unfortunate because other than this, I love the car.
Did you get the fall 2024 ICCU update done at the dealer or did it blow after that anyway?
I've been in for all the standard maintenance since owning it (almost 2 years now), so I should be square on all updates.
Mine blew just about 3 weeks ago, and is still in the shop where they're apparently working with Kia engineers to figure something out.
I strongly suspect I'm the first one of these that has come in for this so they are learning as they go.
