Genesis G70, G80, and G90 Recalled for Fire Risk
It’s the latest recall involving vehicles from Hyundai catching fire
Genesis is recalling 2019-2022 G70 sedans, 2018-2020 G80 sedans, and 2017-2022 G90 sedans equipped with 3.3-liter turbocharged V6 engines because an oil leak may develop and cause a fire. 28,349 vehicles are included in the vehicle.
Earlier this month, Kia recalled some vehicles for the same issue with the same engine. Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis all share corporate ownership and use some of the same parts and designs. This is the latest in a series of fire-related recalls from these automakers. (Read “Why So Many Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis Vehicles Are Getting Recalled for Fire Risks.”)

NHTSA campaign number: 24V191. Hyundai’s own number for this recall is 019G. Vehicles previously repaired under recall 19V538 will need to have the new remedy completed.
Check to see whether your vehicle has an open recall: NHTSA’s website will tell you whether your vehicle has any open recalls that need to be addressed.
If you plug your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) into NHTSA’s website and a recall doesn’t appear, it means your vehicle doesn’t currently have any open recalls. Because automakers issue recalls often, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking back regularly to see whether your vehicle has had a recall issued.
