5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2023 Genesis G80 has 6 recalls, the most serious being exploding front seatbelt pretensioners that can scatter metal fragments into the cabin and strike occupants, alongside a fuel line connection that can leak and raise the risk of fire.
On the fuel side, the fuel pump can also fail and cut drive power while the vehicle is moving. Three recalls touch on instrument and display failures: a software fault can cause the instrument panel to go blank at startup, leaving the driver without a speedometer, fuel gauge, or warning lights; a separate software error can produce the same result; and in certain lighting conditions, the low-beam headlamps may not switch on automatically as it gets dark outside if the multi-function switch is set to off, reducing visibility at night.
