Buying a used 2019 Genesis G90? Check these 2 recalls first
Both open recalls on this year involve fire risk: a turbocharger oil leak and a starter motor that can ignite when water gets in, the latter with a park-outside recommendation until the fix is applied. Six owner complaints were filed with NHTSA — unverified reports, no crashes, fires or injuries — mostly electrical and engine related, which overlaps the recall territory. Nothing here is routine trim or convenience work; both campaigns address underhood conditions that a dealer must verify.
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 dated proof the starter fire recall was completed.
- Inspect the engine bay for oil seepage or burnt smell around the turbochargers.
- Ask where the car has been parked and whether any warning lights or electrical faults appeared.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Genesis dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
