The practice has long been known in the automotive world.
In order to save time, but also to achieve substantial economies of scale, manufacturers join forces and share common technical bases, or even develop a single model under different exteriors and brands.
All the more so when the manufacturers in question are part of the same group.
This is the case of Hyundai and Kia with the Ioniq 5 and EV6, which share almost everything that cannot be seen.
Including their software.
Thus, the recall campaign which recently concerned the Kia EV6 in Europe and the United States, is now in order for the Ioniq 5, and more particularly for those produced from October 4, 2021 to April 26, 2022. For now , only the Ioniq 5 circulating in North America (10,729 copies) should be updated to the program managing the electric parking brake, but there is no doubt that during this period, copies intended for the market European were also assembled.
If you own a Hyundai Ioniq 5, expect a letter from the brand.
