Genesis Gasoline Fuel System Recalls Cover Leaks and Pump Failures
Fuel pump problems recur across the Genesis gasoline notices, alongside two separate fuel connection leak defects. Certain 2021-2022 G80 and GV80 vehicles and 2022 GV70 vehicles appear in pump recall 016G; 022G covers certain 2022-2023 G80, G90, GV70, and GV80 vehicles. The G70 appears in a jet nozzle blockage notice for certain 2021 vehicles with 2.0L GDI engines and a pump failure notice covering 2019-2023 vehicles. Leak recall 008G concerns the high-pressure fuel tube on certain 2021 G80 and GV80 vehicles with 2.5-liter turbo engines. Recall 033G addresses fuel pipe connections across certain G80, G90, GV70, and GV80 vehicles.
Warning signs to watch for
- 2021 G70 jet nozzle recall, 005G: insufficient fuel supply can cause an engine stall.
- Fuel pump recalls 016G, 022G, and the July 2024 G70 notice: fuel pump failure can cause loss of drive power.
Can you keep driving? What the notices say
None of the supplied Genesis gasoline fuel system notices tells owners to stop driving or park outside. This applies to the fuel tube leak notice, 008G; fuel pipe connection leak notice, 033G; G70 jet nozzle notice, 005G; fuel pump notices 016G and 022G; and the July 2024 G70 fuel pump notice. The leak notices identify fire risk. The pump and jet nozzle notices identify loss of drive power or engine stall and increased crash risk. They do not provide a stop-driving instruction.
What the free repair involves
Free remedies differ: 008G replaces the high-pressure fuel tube; 033G inspects and tightens or replaces the fuel pipe as necessary; 005G inspects and repairs the pump jet nozzle. Recall 016G replaces the pump, while 022G inspects and replaces the pump assembly. The July 2024 notice updates engine control module software and inspects and replaces the pump assembly as necessary.

Common questions
Which Genesis fuel recalls concern leaks rather than pump failure?
Recall 008G concerns a high-pressure fuel tube that may not seal on certain 2021 G80 and GV80 vehicles with 2.5-liter turbo engines. Recall 033G concerns leakage at the fuel pipe-to-rail connection on certain G80, G90, GV70, and GV80 vehicles.
Why does the Genesis G70 appear in different fuel pump notices?
Recall 005G describes a plastic burr that may block the pump jet nozzle in certain 2021 G70 vehicles with 2.0L GDI engines. The July 2024 notice covers pump failure in certain 2019-2023 G70 vehicles and specifies software and pump-related remedies.
Do the Genesis fuel pump recalls specify the same repair?
The remedies vary. Recall 016G replaces the fuel pump; 022G inspects and replaces the pump assembly. The July 2024 notice adds an engine control module software update and pump assembly inspection and replacement as necessary. Each specifies free repairs.
