The software fault could cause the 12-volt battery to stop working, according to the recall notice.
Kia Australia has recalled 4551 examples of its 2021-2024 Kia EV6, citing a potential software fault with the affected vehicles.
The affected vehicles are stamped 2021 to 2024 models but may have been sold at a later date.
The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, says: "Due to a software issue, the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) may develop an internal fault causing a warning light to illuminate on the instrument cluster and the 12 Volt battery to stop charging.
"This could result in a loss of motive power. A loss of motive power may occur if the warning lights are ignored which could increase the risk of an accident, causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users."
