2016 HYUNDAI GENESIS Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 Hyundai Genesis has 4 recalls, the most serious being water intrusion into the starter solenoid that can cause an electrical short and start an engine compartment fire while the car is parked or being driven. Two recalls involve the airbag system, and both are limited to Genesis Coupe models. On the passenger side, the wiring connector for the seat's occupant classification sensor can come loose when the seat is adjusted, causing the airbag to default to a single-stage deployment that may not be appropriate for the occupant's size or position in a crash. On the driver's side, the mounting bolts securing the frontal airbag to the steering wheel may not have been tightened fully, which can allow the airbag module to detach and fail to protect the driver in a crash. There is also a brake warning issue: a corroded switch in the parking brake circuit can prevent the dashboard indicator light from lighting up when the parking brake is engaged, meaning a driver may pull away with the brake partially applied without realizing it.
