Buying a used 2021 Genesis G70? Check these 4 recalls first
This year carries the same two critical fire recalls — an anti-lock brake module that can ignite, which comes with park-outside guidance, and a turbocharger oil leak — plus two fuel pump campaigns, one specific to a G70 defect that can stall the engine. Stalling is the practical thing to probe on a test drive. Only six unverified NHTSA complaints are on record, most tagged to the engine, including one crash and one fire; that's too few to draw much from.
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 both fuel pump recalls are closed and ask whether the car has ever stalled.
- Verify the ABS module recall repair before parking it indoors.
- Check for turbo oil leaks and ask for maintenance records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Genesis dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
