Again, thank you for these videos! I didn't receive this mail yet here in US, but I took my car in last week to replace the 12v battery on Warranty and they told me there was this software update. So they did all it. 100% free. 2022 GT-Line 26k miles.
Only had one recall for my EV6 in Australia so far (after two years of ownership) the original ICCU update. The car has been flawless, still love it !!!
With no mail service, they didn't have a choice 😂. I'm getting the car into the dealer on Monday. I'm glad my nearby kia dealer became ev certified and I don't have a 40 minute drive and wait at the dealer for a hour or so. I replaced my 12 volt battery with a Canadian tire glass mat battery with 5 year 100% replacement vs paying pro-rated coverage for the OEM battery and fussing around getting the battery qualified for warranty coverage.
My ICCU and fuse failed at exactly 24 months of ownership and both replaced under warranty just before the new recall came out. My 12v battery is still going strong though so not all ICCU issues will damage the 12v battery.
I too had my battery replaced on my 2024 EV6 GT Line. It had 12,000 km and was 1 month over the warranty. They charged me 25% of a new battery or $75 Cdn $. I asked why the battery had died so early and their reply was, "we don't know what you do with your car." Implying it was my fault somehow. I have an appointment to take my car in for this recall on Tuesday. I will be asking them about my having to pay for the last battery. Be interesting to see their response.

You're right. I didn't think about the Canada Post strike 🤣

You're lucky the 12V battery didn't die. Good for you.

I paid 75% or $215 for my battery and when I asked why the battery died, they said that's the life of these batteries. I have a video on it.
