This page covers 5 recalls and EPA fuel economy for the 2021 Genesis G70.
20–25 mpg combined
9.4–11.8 L/100km
Compact Cars
Fuel economy data from fueleconomy.gov (EPA / U.S. Dept. of Energy). Annual cost based on 15,000 mi/yr at 55% city driving and current fuel prices. MPG is U.S. gallons; L/100km converted. Ranges reflect the 5 tested variants for this model year.
The 2021 Genesis G70 has 5 recalls, with two posing a fire risk: the anti-lock brake module can short circuit and ignite while the car is parked or being driven, and on 3.3-liter V6 turbo models, an oil line near the left turbocharger can leak onto hot engine components.
Three recalls involve fuel delivery problems that can cause the engine to stall or cut power while driving. On 2.0-liter models, a plastic burr left in the fuel pump's jet nozzle can block fuel flow to the engine. A separate issue with the low-pressure fuel pump assembly can also partially restrict fuel delivery and cause a stall. There is also a broader fuel pump failure that can result in a complete loss of drive power. Some of these fuel system recalls are specific to certain engine configurations, so checking your VIN against each recall is the clearest way to know which apply to your vehicle.
