The Integrated Charge Controller Unit (ICCU) failed at 7622 miles, causing the pyrotechnic fuse to fail as well. The vehicle was towed to the nearest Hyundai dealer.

My ICCU failed, which caused a fuse to blow and some electrical wiring in the car to melt. This caused the car to completely deplete the 12V battery, which left the car completely inoperable. The vehicle was towed to a Hyundai dealership, where they ordered the relevant parts and changed them under warranty. I was without the car for roughly two weeks.
