Overheated Battery Plug Recall for Kia
2,209 Niro EV models from 2022 are being recalled by Kia. The car maker stated in the NHTSA report that the safety plug for a high-voltage battery could melt from overheating. Fire or a reduction in drive power may result from this. A driver who loses power increases the chance of crashing, and a fire raises the chance of suffering injuries.
Owners of the impacted vehicles are being advised by the car maker not to charge their vehicles in a garage or any other covered structure until the recall repair is finished. Dealers will swap out the safety plug for free. Letters of recall notification are anticipated to be mailed on July 19. SC314 is Kia’s number for this recall.

Recall of Lamborghini Due to Hood Separation
2,133 Urus Performante and Urus S cars from the 2023–2024 model years are being recalled by Lamborghini. A separation or failure of the hood latch striker is possible.

When a car’s hood separates, it might hinder vision for the driver or create a hazard on the road, which raises the possibility of an accident.
Owners of the recalled cars can get an inspection, have the hood repaired, and have a striker support plate installed by going to their dealer. Every service will be rendered at no cost. On June 28, notification letters are anticipated to be sent. Owners can call 1-866-681-6276 to reach out to Lamborghini customer care. L636-R.02.24 is Lamborghini’s recall number.

A total of 79,953 Volkswagen ID.4 vehicles from 2021–2023 are being recalled. Software problems can result in the instrument panel and center displays not booting up or resetting.
