Moxxi ❄️ 🌲

Today is a very unfortunate day. I had stuff to do that was important enough to take a day off for but my car broke down (known issue, I think the part has been recalled but I'm not 100% sure) and went to the dealership for an emergency open-battery surgery.

I'm stuck on foot until tomorrow morning, it's above zero outside, sooo let's gear up and film Moxxi in the melting snow! Today isn't that bad after all! (It is bad, that car breakdown was very poorly timed) It's pretty great!

@moxxi dang sorry to hear. Hopefully they can get you a new one quickly. Hyundai hasn’t recalled them because they haven’t been able to engineer an effective fix yet - there are two common failure modes and both are long term thermal failures so they can’t reliably reproduce the failures in lab settings. 😢

@pkprotoplasm so I do see an open recall in the app for the ICCU unit dated from late 2024. That being said, it's labeled as "complete" but still in red so I'm confused as to whether my faulty ICCU will fall under that recall or whether it's something different. Anyway, no one has talked about cost yet so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

@moxxi they’ve been covering ICCU replacements as a general rule, at least for new owners. https://www.reddit.com/r/Ioniq5/comments/1iv6db1/12viccu_megathread/ is a good spot for feedback, and I don’t see any out of pocket reports there.

some have been nickel and dimed on incidentals like replacing blown 12v fuses but you could argue your way out of that I think.

Biggest concern may be turnaround time. It’s all over the place and mostly the problem areas seem to be US states where Hyundai doesn’t have an EV-cert’d dealership footprint.
