Buying a used 2021 Genesis G80? Check these 4 recalls first
The 2021 record differs from earlier G80s: the ABS fire recall isn't listed here, but two critical fuel line campaigns are, covering the G80 alongside the G90, GV70 and GV80, where the line may leak gasoline. A fuel pump recall and a seat belt component that may explode during a crash also apply. Just nine unverified NHTSA complaints are on record, none involving crashes, fires or injuries, with service brakes and tires most cited.
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.
- Ask for proof both fuel line recalls were repaired, and check for any fuel smell.
- Confirm the seat belt component recall was completed on all affected belts.
- Have the fuel pump recall checked by VIN and note any hard starting.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Genesis dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
