Buying a used 2019 Genesis G70? Check these 5 recalls first
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
- 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.
- Get a VIN recall check on the ABS module and starter fire recalls before garaging it.
- Look for oil seepage around the turbo and ask about oil consumption.
- Ask if the fuel pump recall was done, and whether it has ever stalled or started hard.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Genesis dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
