6 recalls covering model years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Certain Hyundai and Genesis vehicles, including the Veloster N, Genesis G70, Elantra N, and Kona N, may have a fuel pump that fails. If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle can lose engine power while being driven. Some owners were sent an early letter warning them about this safety risk before the full notice with the repair information went out.
Hyundai is recalling certain Genesis G70, G80, and G90 vehicles with a 3.3-liter turbocharged V6 engine. The left turbocharger oil feed pipe may deteriorate and leak oil. An oil leak near hot engine parts can increase the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the left turbocharger oil feed pipe. This recall replaces an earlier recall, so vehicles already repaired under that recall will need the new repair completed.
Water can get into a part of the starter system and cause an electrical short. This short can start a fire in the engine compartment, whether the vehicle is parked or being driven. Hyundai will install a new relay kit in the engine's electrical box to fix the problem.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
The trunk latch on these cars can become damaged. When that happens, the trunk cannot be opened from the inside. Federal safety rules require a trunk release that works from within the trunk compartment, and these vehicles do not meet that requirement. Hyundai is recalling certain 2020 Sonata and Sonata Hybrid cars and 2019 Genesis G70 cars. Dealers will inspect the trunk latch and replace the latch base if it is needed, at no cost to the owner.
The anti-lock brake module can malfunction and short-circuit. If that happens, it can start a fire in the engine area, whether the car is parked or being driven.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
Hyundai Motor America is recalling certain 2021 Genesis G70 vehicles with 2.0L GDI engines. A plastic burr left over from manufacturing may block the fuel pump's jet nozzle, which can leave the engine without enough fuel.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

The 2019 Genesis G70 has the most, with 5 recalls. The 2023 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
