What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2018 Hyundai Genesis, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED 4 FRONT TIRE FAILURES WITH THE CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TX TIRES THAT ARE OEM ON THE 2018 GENESIS G80 SPORT. ALL FAILURES HAVE BEEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH 2 COMPLETE SIDEWALL FAILURES AND 2 BLOWOUTS. IN EACH INSTANCE I HAD NO WARNING AND HAD TO CAREFULLY MOVE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING OVER 40 YEARS AND HAVE ONLY EXPERIENCED ONE OTHER BLOWOUT. WITH THIS VEHICLE/TIRE COMBINATION I HAVE HAD 4 BLOWOUTS IN 90 DAYS. THE CAR HAS 5,600 MILES ON IT. THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.
