Buying a used 2020 Genesis G70? Check these 3 recalls first
Two critical fire recalls carry over: an anti-lock brake module that can catch fire, with park-outside guidance until it's fixed, and a turbocharger oil leak. A fuel pump recall on performance models applies as well. The complaint record is thin — 13 unverified NHTSA reports, including one fire and no crashes, spread across fuel system, electrical, tires and unclassified issues. Thirteen filings is a small sample, so read it as limited evidence rather than a clean record.
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.
- Confirm by VIN that the ABS module recall repair was completed.
- Inspect the turbo area for oil leaks and ask for oil-change records.
- Ask whether the fuel pump recall applies to this car and was performed.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Genesis dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
