Genesis has announced an expansion of its fuel pump recall, nearly doubling the number of affected vehicles.
As disclosed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on Monday, this recall initially started in September 2023 covering approximately 19,000 cars; it now includes 31,440 vehicles from the 2022-2023 model years, along with 2021 models from the original recall.
The low-pressure fuel pump may have an impeller that could deform over time, affecting the fuel pump housing.
This could lead to the fuel pump shutting down, restricting gas flow to the engine, resulting in a loss of power, and increasing the risk of a crash.
The recall encompasses the following vehicles:
2022-2023 Genesis GV70
2022-2023 Genesis GV80
2022-2023 Genesis G80
2022-2023 Genesis G90
Note: The G70 compact sedan is not included in this recall. If there is a problem, owners may experience an engine stall or notice the engine hesitating or 'stumbling', as well as rough idling or a malfunction/check engine light in the instrument cluster.
Parent company Hyundai confirmed 463 instances of fuel pump failure in the real world in the U.S. market, but reported no crashes, injuries, or fires.
Owners have been receiving recall notices by mail since 18 June 2024.They will be advised to bring their vehicle to a Hyundai dealer where a service technician will replace the fuel pump at no charge. Owners who have paid for the repairs themselves will be reimbursed.
