14 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026. 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.
The front power seats have motors that can overheat if the seat control switch gets stuck. This overheating can lead to a fire, and it can happen whether the vehicle is parked or being driven. The issue involves the power controls built into the front seats of these vehicles.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
Fuel may leak from the connection point where the fuel pipe meets the fuel rail in these Genesis vehicles. A fuel leak in this location increases the risk of a fire. Genesis dealers will fix the problem by inspecting the connection and tightening it as needed, or by replacing the fuel pipe entirely if that turns out to be necessary for the vehicle.
A software error can cause the instrument panel display in front of the driver to fail. This display normally shows important information such as the speedometer and fuel gauge. If it stops working because of this software error, the driver may lose access to that information while driving.
In certain Genesis G80, GV70, and GV80 vehicles, a software error can cause the instrument panel display to fail. This is the screen that normally shows things like the speedometer and warning lights, so a driver may not be able to see this information if it stops working. Dealers will inspect the instrument panel and update its software as needed to fix the problem, free of charge.
The fuel pump that supplies fuel to the engine may fail. If it fails, the vehicle can lose the power that keeps it moving, even while you are driving. Losing drive power like this means the engine may stop providing the force needed to keep the vehicle moving forward on the road, which can happen at any time while driving these vehicles.
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).
On certain Genesis G80, GV70, and GV80 vehicles, the fuel pump may fail. If it does, the vehicle can lose drive power while being driven.
Hyundai is recalling certain Genesis GV80, G80, GV70 and GV60 vehicles. In a crash, the part that tightens the front seat belt can explode when it goes off. This can affect the driver side belt, the passenger side belt, or both. Dealers will secure these parts with a cap. This recall replaces and expands an earlier recall, so vehicles that were already repaired under that earlier one need the new repair as well.
Some Genesis G80 and GV80 vehicles equipped with certain turbo engines have a fuel tube that connects the high pressure fuel pump to the fuel rail. This tube may not seal properly. Because the seal may fail, fuel can leak out from where the tube connects to the fuel system.
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 is recalling certain Genesis G80 and G90 vehicles equipped with 3.3-liter turbocharged engines. These vehicles have an oil supply pipe that feeds the turbocharger. On affected vehicles, the seal on this oil supply pipe may be loose rather than properly sealed. Because the seal is loose, oil from this pipe can leak out and land on the engine's exhaust manifold, rather than staying contained within the turbocharger's oil supply system.
The passenger airbag system may wrongly detect that an adult is sitting in the front passenger seat, even when no one is there. Because of this misreading, if a child or infant is actually riding in that seat during a crash, the airbag may inflate instead of staying switched off, which is what should happen when a small child is in that seat. The system is not correctly recognizing who, or what, is actually in the seat.
The windshield and rear window on these vehicles may have been installed with the wrong type of primer. This can weaken the bond that holds the glass to the vehicle frame. Because the incorrect primer was used, the strength of that bond may decrease over time, meaning the glass is not held in place as securely as it should be as the vehicle continues to be driven and used.
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.

NHTSA lists 14 safety recalls covering the 2018–2026 Genesis G80. 13 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Genesis G80 Power Seat Motors May Overheat, Catch Fire" (NHTSA campaign 26V664000), reported Oct 9, 2026.
The 2018 Genesis G80 has the most, with 7 recalls. The 2026 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.
