Hyundai Motor America is recalling more than 32,000 Genesis model year 2023-2024 G80, GV80, 2025 GV70 and 2023-2025 GV70 “Electrified” vehicles. Due to a software error, the instrument panel display may fail.
“An inoperative or degraded IP cluster image could mask essential gauges, such as the speedometer, fuel gauge, and certain on-screen notifications associated with motive powertrain, increasing the risk of a crash,” Hyundai told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the mandatory safety defect recall filing, which is apparently still operating with hard-working people in spite of the Trump Administration.
“Upon vehicle start-up, the instrument panel (“IP”) cluster display(s) in the subject vehicles may be inoperative or exhibit intermittent performance with partial/flickering image display due to erroneous software logic. In their failed state, the vehicles being recalled do not meet certain requirements set forth in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 101, “Controls and Displays,” Hyundai said.
Dealers will update the instrument panel display software, free of charge as is required by U.S. Safety regulations. Owner notification letters are not expected to be mailed 20 April 2025. Owners may contact Genesis customer service at 844-340-9741. Hyundai’s number for this recall is 026G. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to nhtsa.gov about NHTSA 25V105 or 25V-105.

Above all, decades after he first drove a car, Zino still revels in the sound of the exhaust as the throttle is blipped during a downshift and the driver’s rush that occurs when the entry, apex and exit points of a turn are smoothly and swiftly crossed. It’s the beginning of a perfect lap.
