Approximately 320 model-year 2021 Genesis G70 sedans equipped with 2-liter GDI engines are being recalled because the fuel pump jet nozzles may have plastic burrs remaining from the manufacturing process. The plastic burrs could cause the nozzles to become blocked and prevent fuel from reaching the engine, causing the engine to stall and increasing the risk of a crash.
Genesis manufacturer Hyundai will begin notifying owners on Nov. 13. Owners can call the automaker at 855-371-9460 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.
To fix the problem, dealers will inspect the fuel pump and replace the jet nozzle housing assembly, if necessary.
Vehicle manufacturers are legally required to repair any recalled issues or replace the defective part for free under the Highway Safety Act of 1970. If the dealership refuses to fix the problem or attempts to charge you for the repair, contact the manufacturer immediately.
