Known issues on the 2024 Kona. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the 12-volt battery cables, which may chafe against the engine control module bracket and short circuit during a crash — a short circuit increases the risk of an engine compartment fire. The second covers the seat belt assemblies in the right and left rear seats, which may not function properly, and a seat belt that does not function properly may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash. Owners have filed 62 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 29 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you are tracing 12-volt wiring in the engine bay, checking the rear seat belt retractors, or working through a scheduled service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2024 Kona.
