Hyundai Motor Co. shares dipped slightly after announcing a voluntary recall of 37,690 electric vehicles in South Korea due to a battery management system software flaw. Affiliate Kia Corp. is recalling an additional 1,590 units, bringing the total to 39,280 EVs flagged for potential fire risks.

The issue centers on delayed overheating detection in Hyundai's Kona Electric and three other models. This marks the second major battery-related recall since Hyundai's costly 2023 replacement program for 82,000 Kona Electric batteries.

South Korea's transport ministry is considering new regulations requiring EV manufacturers to disclose battery supplier information, reflecting global scrutiny of lithium-ion battery safety standards.

Investors reacted cautiously to the news, with HYUD.L shares declining amid concerns about recurring battery issues damaging Hyundai's EV reputation. The recall comes at a sensitive time for automakers transitioning to electric fleets, as battery safety remains a key consumer concern.
