Genesis recalls 90,000 of its sedans because of a fire risk in the engine compartment.
Hyundai and Genesis have recalled 90,000 vehicles from 2015 to 2019 model-years due to a fire hazard. The affected models are sedans, namely the 2015-2016 Hyundai Genesis, 2017-2019 Genesis G80, 2017-2019 Genesis G90 and 2019 G70.
According to the manufacturer's document filed with the NHTSA , the equivalent of Transport Canada, the problem can occur when water damages the starter solenoid. This can cause an electrical short, which Hyundai says "can lead to a fire in the engine compartment." 2019 Genesis GV70 Photo: Genesis If the short circuit causes a fire, the blaze can then potentially engulf the engine compartment and spread backwards through the rest of the car, the company says.
To fix the problem, a corrective relay assembly will be installed in the engine junction box of affected models. Hyundai says a handful of "thermal incidents" have occurred as a result of the problem, but it's not known if any of them turned into full-blown fires. Every Genesis owner is exposed to this risk and needs to have their vehicle repaired as soon as possible.
