What's wrong, in plain English

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.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Hyundai dealer or Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460 to schedule the repair.
3. The turbocharger oil supply pipe will be replaced free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 19V538000.
