Starting to appear in the European media too:


Hyundai will voluntarily recall Kona full-electric vehicles because a possible short circuit due to faulty manufacturing of its high-voltage battery cells could pose a fire risk. The recall involves 25,564 Kona EVs built between September 2017 and March 2020, South Korea's transport ministry said on Thursday.
Wonder if it will affect eNiro too as that’s pretty much the same battery and running gear?

Aren't the Kona and Niro's battery cells provided by completely different companies? I think Hyundai use LG Chem, where Kia use... SK, maybe?
