Hyundai Genesis Coupe recalls

  • Recall 24V562000Jul 25, 202412,612 vehiclesModel years 2010–2013

    Risk: Unintended vehicle movement can increase the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 23V651000Sep 22, 20231,649,478 vehiclesModel years 2011–2015

    Risk: An engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury.

  • Recall 20V248000May 4, 20201,295 vehiclesModel years 2016

    Risk: A detached driver's air bag increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

  • Recall 16V722000Oct 7, 201684,500 vehiclesModel years 2010–2016

    Risk: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, the disconnected OCS would, by default, cause the first stage, and only the first stage, of the air bag to deploy, whether there is a child seat in the front seat and the bag should not deploy or if the crash is severe and both stages should deploy. Either scenario increases the risk of injury to the front seat occupant.

  • Recall 15V756000Nov 16, 201510,800 vehiclesModel years 2013–2015

    Risk: If the rear differential loosens from its mounting position, the driveshaft may disconnect from the differential, resulting in a loss of propulsion and an increased risk of a crash.

  • Recall 13V113000Apr 1, 20131,712,336 vehiclesModel years 2010–2011

    Risk: Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of Park without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.
