Genesis G80 and GV80 fuel line may leak gasoline

NHTSA campaign 21V208000 · Reported 2021-03-24 · Hyundai Motor America

critical How serious is it? About this label

Leaking fuel near an ignition source can start a fire, which is serious; the notice does not tell owners to stop driving, but have the repair done as soon as possible.

What's wrong, in plain English

On these cars with the 2.5-liter turbo engine, the metal tube that carries gasoline from the pump to the engine may not seal tightly where it connects. Fuel can seep out of that joint. If the leaking gas reaches a spark or hot surface, it can catch fire. The dealer fix is a new high-pressure fuel tube, and it costs you nothing. Hyundai mailed letters to owners of affected Genesis vehicles in May 2021.
