• The recall affects 2020-2023 G80 sedans, GV70 and GV80 SUVs and GV60 EVs.Genesis has issued a recall of over 65,000 2020-2023 G80, GV60, GV70 and GV80 vehicles to fix a potential defect with seat belt pretensioners, which could potentially explode during an accident, sending metal shrapnel flying through the cabin.
Specifically, the campaign affects 9,720 units of the G80 sedan , 940 units of the GV60 EV , 21,917 units of the GV70 and 32,940 units of the GV80 . It is not clear at this point if Canadian vehicles are affected by the recall. Photo: D.Boshouwers Genesis GV70 Genesis believes the defect is present in about 1 percent of the 65,517 vehicles being recalled. The components targeted by the campaign are equipped with pyrotechnic belt pretensioners that can “deploy abnormally in certain crashes due to over-pressurization of the pretensioner pipe,” according to the company. That could potentially send metal fragments flying through the passenger compartment, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will ensure that a technician can secure the entire system to prevent it from being a hazard. It's worth noting that the Transport Canada website shows a recall for the same problem was issued in 2021. The Hyundai Elantra and Venue, as well as the Genesis GV70 and GV80 were targeted at that time. The company says that Genesis models that have already been repaired will have to go back to the shop, which suggests that another cause of the problem has been detected.
