Concern

Some vehicles fitted with a high voltage battery may have internal cell voltage deviation

Defect, as DVSA words it

Some vehicles fitted with a high voltage battery may have internal cell voltage deviation. If this occurs it may result in the risk of an electrical short circuit inside the battery. Until the high voltage battery software has been updated we recommend the vehicle to be parked in a well ventilated area. The vehicle can be used as normal.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Hyundai has launched a Safety Recall to update the battery management system (BMS) software.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.
