2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2015 Hyundai Genesis has 13 recalls, the most serious being fire risks from water intrusion into both the starter solenoid and the anti-lock brake control module, either of which can short circuit and ignite an engine compartment fire even while the vehicle is parked. The original-equipment Hankook Ventus S1 Noble 2 tires can develop sidewall cracks that lead to a rapid blowout and loss of vehicle control. Water can also leak into the rear combination lamp assemblies through an improperly sealed housing, which can cause the wrong gear to display on the instrument cluster or delay gear engagement when shifting out of Park, potentially sending the car moving in an unintended direction. On Genesis Coupe models with a manual transmission, the rear differential mounting bolts can loosen and allow the driveshaft to disconnect, cutting power to the wheels. The passenger seat occupant classification sensor connector can come loose when the seat slides, which may cause the front airbag to deploy with less force than the crash requires. On the instrument side, vehicles with the optional seven-inch TFT-LCD cluster can display incorrect speed or show misleading warning lights, and a corroded parking brake switch can leave the dash light dark when the brake is still engaged. There is also a potential communication error between the audio and navigation head unit and the instrument cluster on vehicles equipped with that optional display.
