2021 Genesis G80

The 2021 Genesis G80 has 5 recalls, the most serious being multiple fuel leak risks from connections along the fuel line that can lead to a fire if an ignition source is present.

Three of the five recalls involve fuel escaping from different points in the fuel delivery system. A fitting between the high-pressure fuel pump and the fuel rail on 2.5-litre turbo models may not seal properly, allowing fuel to spray or drip near hot engine components. Separately, the pipe connection between the fuel pipe and the fuel rail can leak, and the nuts securing the crossover fuel pipe may not have been tightened fully, which also allows fuel to escape. Any of these leaks creates a fire risk if fuel contacts a heat source or spark. On the occupant safety side, the front seatbelt pretensioners can burst when triggered in a crash rather than simply tightening the belt, sending metal fragments into the cabin and potentially striking the driver or passenger. There is also a mechanical concern: the fuel pump itself can fail entirely, cutting power to the engine while driving and leaving the vehicle unable to accelerate, which raises the risk of a collision.
