The Hyundai Ioniq 6 has been recalled due to a faulty charging port door which could fall off the vehicle.
“The affected vehicles charging port door panel may misaligned due to poor adhesive application that causes the retaining hook to unlatch, resulting in the port door panel detaching from the hinge assembly whilst driving,” Hyundai Australia says in its recall notice.
“If the charging port door panel detaches from vehicle whilst driving, this could increase the risk of an accident-causing injury or death to road users, bystanders, and/or damage to property.”
