Hyundai Recalls Over 90,000 Genesis Vehicles for Fire Hazard

Owners advised to park vehicles outside until repairs are completed, following a recall due to a risk of engine fires.

Hyundai is recalling more than 90,000 Genesis vehicles across several models due to a fire risk, advising owners to park outside until repairs are made.
The recall affects certain 2015-2016 Genesis, 2017-2019 Genesis G80, Genesis G90, and 2019 Genesis G70 vehicles.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration identified that water may enter the starter solenoid, causing an electrical short and potentially leading to an engine compartment fire.
Hyundai has confirmed a dozen thermal incidents in the U.S. from Sept. 29, 2017, to July 9, 2023, involving smoke, melting of components, or fires, but no crashes or injuries have been reported.
Dealers will install a remedy relay kit in the engine junction box free of charge, with notification letters expected to be mailed to owners by April 13.
