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.
