Genesis Issues Massive Recall for 94,760 Vehicles Over Fuel Leak Fire Risk

Hyundai Motor America has issued a major safety recall affecting approximately 94,760 Genesis vehicles due to a potential fuel leak in the engine compartment that poses a fire hazard.

The recall covers multiple luxury models across the Genesis lineup, including:

• GV70: Model years 2022–2026
• GV80: Model years 2021–2025
• G80: Model years 2021–2025
• G90: Model years 2023–2025

Root Cause of the Safety Risk

The defect involves a loose or faulty connection between the fuel pipe and the fuel rail. Investigators found that gasoline can leak at this junction, creating a severe fire risk due to the high operating temperatures in the engine bay.

Free Inspections and Repairs

Genesis has confirmed that all necessary repairs will be completed at no cost to owners. When a vehicle is brought to a dealer, the following steps will be taken:

• Inspect the fuel system for leaks or improper fittings
• Tighten the pipe connection to factory specifications
• Replace the fuel pipe if the component is compromised

Official notification letters will be mailed to registered owners starting June 8, 2026. However, owners can take immediate action:

• VIN Check: As of April 11, 2026, owners can verify if their vehicle is affected by entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on NHTSA.gov.
