Power Loss Recall – Genesis G80, GV80, GV70 SUVs

The GV line was a late entry in luxury truck market.

Hyundai Motor America is recalling 2021-2022 Genesis G80, GV80, and 2022 Genesis GV70 vehicles because the fuel pump may fail, which can result in a loss of drive power. More than 19,000 SUVs are involved, according to the legally required documents that The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) made public this morning.

“The low-pressure fuel pump assemblies in the recalled vehicles may contain impellers that do not meet current material characteristic specifications, potentially leading to deformation. Deformation of the impeller could cause the impeller to interfere with the fuel pump housing, resulting in a mechanical resistance that could lead to a shutdown of the fuel pump,” Hyundai said. Hyundam Industrial Co. in Korea is the maker of the defective fuel pump module.

All owners of the recalled vehicles will be notified by first class mail with instructions to take their vehicles to a Genesis dealer for replacement of the fuel pump. This remedy will be offered at no cost to owners for all affected vehicles, regardless of whether the affected vehicles are still covered under Hyundai’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty – as required by US law.

“Hyundai will provide owners of affected vehicles reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred to obtain a remedy for the recall condition in accordance with the reimbursement plan submitted to NHTSA on February 24, 2022,” Hyundai said. There are no confirmed crashes, fires, or injuries related to the safety defect.
