Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Filed Jan 13, 2025

The dashboard speedometer is configured in 10 MPH increments from 0 up to 40 then jumps to 20 MPH increments after that. Using the dashboard speedometer, the driver gets a different speed when transitioning from 40 to 60 and then back down to 40. The digital heads-up-display gives a consistent change through this speed range. Other speedometers on other models from this manufacturer do not have this dropout around 50 MPH. Changing the 0 to 40 range on the dial would slightly fix this. Since 50 MPH is a very common speed, I think this may eventually result in erroneous signals for the driver. Additionally, the Owner's Manual is illustrated with different speedometers from those which appear on the car.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS

Some Genesis vehicles may be equipped with a parking distance warning (PDW) sensor(s) that may trigger various DTCs and display warning messages on the instrument cluster, resulting in the PDW sensor(s) failing to detect nearby objects or triggering multiple false alarms. This condition may be a result of external damage to the PDW sensor membrane or sensor cover from rock chips or road debris, a collision, or previous vehicle repairs or modifications.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Certain G70 (IK) vehicles equipped with an AVN5W head unit may exhibit the map, navigation, and voice recognition systems not loading after an Over the Air (OTA) software update due to an error in the software update logic.

SERVICE BRAKES

Certain G70 (IK) vehicles may develop brake disc surface rust due to extended storage prior to delivery. This condition may affect braking smoothness or generate minor noise. This bulletin provides instructions to perform brake disc burnishing or machining on the affected front and/or rear brakes as necessary, to restore proper braking performance.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
