2026 Genesis GV80 recalls

Recall 26V-019: Electrical System

Reported Jan 16, 2026 · 83,877 vehicles affected · Hyundai Motor America

Problem: Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain Genesis 2025-2026 G80, GV80, 2026 G80 "Electrified," GV60, GV70 "Electrified" and GV70 vehicles. Due to a software error, the instrument panel display may fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Controls and Displays."

Risk: An instrument panel display that fails to show critical safety information, such as the speedometer or fuel gauge, increases the risk of a crash.

Fix: Owners are advised to disable the high definition (HD) radio feature until the recall remedy has been performed. The audio video navigation software will be updated over-the-air (OTA) or inspected and updated by a dealer, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning February 17, 2026. Owners may contact Genesis customer service at 844-340-9741. Hyundai's number for this recall is 031G.

Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Nov 4, 2026
Traveling along a 2 lane highway, I came to a complete stop while waiting for a safe opportunity to turn left onto a side street. When an opportunity to turn became available, I pressed the accelerator pedal and began making the left turn. Almost immediately, the vehicle lost its ability to accelerate and stopped moving forward as expected. Despite pressing the accelerator pedal firmly and repeatedly, the vehicle would not respond normally and would not continue moving forward. I was actively pressing the accelerator, but the vehicle behaved as though I was not pressing the pedal at all. At…

The Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), specifically the Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA), suffered an unprompted phantom activation and electronic control module lockup. The vehicle is currently located at the Genesis dealership service center and is available for inspection. On [XXX], at [XXX] AM, I was driving 60 mph in the far-left lane of [XXX] approaching the [XXX] (near the River Road ramp). Without any driver input, the vehicle executed an unwanted command, forcibly dropping my speed from 60 to 30 mph in less than 3 seconds. My safety was put at extreme risk as an 18-wheel…
Engine · reported Aug 25, 2026
This car has stalled 3 times. Randomly, but each time while car was fully stopped. Once when I was sitting in a parking lot about to pull into traffic, and when waiting for a light to go from red to green. After these two times I took car to dealer. They ran diagnostics and said there were NO error codes. They tried to reproduce but could not. I asked them to reset all computers in car, which they did. But it happened again yesterday. This third time, weather is nice, about 68 degrees. I had been driving about 3 miles, waiting for a light to change. I believe the car went into “Auto stop”…

On June 18 at approximately 9:50 p.m., I was driving my 2026 Genesis GV80 (6,493 miles) on a highway where traffic was reduced to one lane due to road paving. Traffic was heavily congested. I came to a complete stop behind a tractor-trailer on a flat/level roadway and remained stationary for approximately 30–40 seconds with my foot on the brake. The vehicle's automatic start/stop feature had been manually disabled. While completely stopped, the vehicle unexpectedly began moving forward toward the tractor-trailer despite my foot being on the brake pedal. I released and reapplied/pumped the…
