Buying a used 2018 Genesis G90? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 16 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

Three critical fire-risk recalls sit on this year: two separate turbocharger oil leak campaigns and a starter that can ignite if water enters — that last one carries a park-outside instruction until repaired. A high-severity recall covers a windshield that may detach. Sixteen owner complaints reached NHTSA, unverified reports including one crash but no fires, concentrated in electrical and engine areas that echo the recall subjects. For an older car, completed recall proof is the key document.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Confirm the starter fire recall is done; if not, the car should be parked outside.
3. Ask for records on both turbo oil leak recalls and inspect for oil residue near the turbos.
4. Check the windshield edges and bonding for gaps, leaks or signs of prior replacement.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Genesis dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
