Fire-Related
By System
The 2020 Genesis G70 has 3 recalls, the most serious being two separate fire risks: a short circuit in the anti-lock brake module that can ignite an engine compartment fire whether the car is parked or moving, and an oil leak from the left turbocharger feed pipe that can catch fire on hot engine surfaces.
The turbocharger fire risk only affects G70s equipped with the 3.3-liter V6 turbocharged engine. On the fuel delivery side, the fuel pump can fail without warning and cut power to the engine while driving, leaving the vehicle unable to accelerate or maintain speed and raising the risk of a crash.
