2019 Genesis G80

The 2019 Genesis G80 has 4 recalls, with three of them posing a risk of engine compartment fire — one from water entering the starter solenoid, one from a leaking turbocharger oil feed pipe, and one from the ABS module short-circuiting.

The starter solenoid can allow water intrusion that causes an electrical short, potentially igniting a fire whether the car is parked or in motion. The turbocharger oil leak only affects vehicles with the 3.3-liter V6 turbocharged engine: the left turbocharger's oil supply pipe can deteriorate and drip oil onto hot engine surfaces, creating the same fire risk. The ABS module defect is separate — the module's internal components can short circuit on their own, again with the potential for a fire while parked or driving. All three fire-related issues share the same consequence but stem from different parts of the car, so each requires its own repair.

The fourth recall involves the front passenger airbag. The passenger seat sensor that detects whether a child or infant is in the seat may fail to suppress the airbag when it should, meaning the airbag can deploy toward a small child in a crash rather than staying off as designed.
