On the 2024-2026 Hyundai Casper, the Casper Electric (AX1 EV) uses a 3-way valve to switch coolant flow between the heating/cooling circuits. A design deficiency allows the valve's internal shaft to break, which can cause improper coolant circulation, intermittent air-conditioning failure, coolant leaks, and in the worst case an electrical short with smoke and fire. Hyundai first ran a free-repair campaign in 2025 covering 11,649 cars built 16 Jul 2024–10 Feb 2025, but problems persisted (including o-ring leaks after the repair), and on 12 May 2026 the company escalated to a full safety recall of all 18,961 Casper Electrics sold in Korea (production 21 Jun 2024–24 Apr 2026). Owner communities also reported parts shortages and long waits before the recall was announced.

Common Symptoms

  • Coolant or EV system warning light during driving
  • Air conditioning or heating intermittently stops working
  • Coolant leak under the front of the car
  • Steam or burning smell from the front compartment
  • Smoke in severe cases

How to Fix

Have the recall performed: Hyundai service centers replace the 3-way valve with an improved part free of charge (about 1 hour 40 minutes to 2 hours of work). If a coolant warning light or leak persists after the repair, return to the service center — Hyundai issued guidance to technicians about proper o-ring seating during valve replacement. Check recall eligibility at car.go.kr or a Hyundai Bluehands center using the VIN.

Typical repair cost:$0 - $400
