Buying a used 2019 Genesis G70? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 61 owner complaints on file · 2 park-outside

Fire risk is the through-line here: three critical recalls covering an anti-lock brake module that can ignite, water reaching the starter, and turbocharger oil leaks. Two carry park-outside guidance, meaning affected cars shouldn't sit in a garage until repaired. A fuel pump recall on performance models and a trunk release recall round it out. Owners filed 61 unverified NHTSA complaints, none reporting fires, clustered in engine, fuel system and electrical, with six crashes reported.

Before you buy

  1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
  2. Get a VIN recall check on the ABS module and starter fire recalls before garaging it.
  3. Look for oil seepage around the turbo and ask about oil consumption.
  4. Ask if the fuel pump recall was done, and whether it has ever stalled or started hard.
  5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Genesis dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
