Hyundai Genesis Coupe Recalls

The Hyundai Genesis Coupe has 4 recalls spanning the 2010–2016 production run, with the most serious on 2013 manual-transmission models where the rear differential mounting bolts may not have been properly fastened, which can allow the differential to shift or separate and cause a loss of drive or rear-end instability.

The other powertrain concern affects 2010 manual-transmission models, where the clutch ignition interlock switch can fail and allow the engine to start without the clutch pedal depressed, letting a parked vehicle lurch forward unexpectedly. On the safety equipment side, the final model year, 2016, has a recall where the driver's front airbag attachment bolts may be insufficiently tightened, allowing the airbag module to work loose or detach from the steering wheel, reducing crash protection. The 2010 model year also has a separate airbag-related concern: debris under the front passenger seat can contact the electrical connector for the passenger seat occupant sensor and disconnect it when the seat is moved, disabling the system that determines whether the front passenger airbag should deploy and triggering the airbag warning light on the instrument cluster.
