What's wrong?
The rear motor-gear drive unit on the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 AWD combines the rear electric motor gearing with the differential. The differential lets the rear wheels turn at different speeds in a curve while still sending drive power to the road. Inside that unit, differential gear bolts hold the gear assembly together under load.
On affected vehicles, a batch of assemblies that still needed bolt rework was sent to the supplier and used in production. Because those differential gear bolts were not tightened properly, the gear drive unit can come apart internally under normal driving loads. That can cause a loss of drive power or cause the differential to lock up.
The warning sign listed for this recall is a grinding noise during normal operation. If you hear grinding from the drivetrain, treat it as a sign that the gear drive unit is no longer operating smoothly and needs dealer inspection under the recall.
