Buying a used 2019 Genesis G80? Check these 3 recalls first
Three critical recalls, all fire-related: an anti-lock brake module that can catch fire, water in the starter that can ignite, and a turbocharger oil leak. Two carry park-outside guidance, so where the car is stored matters until they're closed out. No other campaigns are listed for this year. Owners filed 27 unverified NHTSA complaints — electrical the largest group, then engine and service brakes — with two crashes and two injuries, and no fires 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.
- Verify the ABS module and starter recalls are complete before garaging the car.
- Look for oil residue around the turbo and ask about oil top-offs.
- Test brake feel and dash warning lights, and ask about any brake work done.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Genesis dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
