What is wrong
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2027 Genesis G80 vehicles. The ignition coil ground bolt may be loose, resulting in an engine misfire or stall while driving.
The risk
An misfire or loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
Why electrical defects matter: Electrical faults can cause a loss of power, disable safety features or, where wiring overheats, start a fire.

Dealers will tighten the ignition coil ground bolt, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 18, 2026. Owners may contact Genesis customer service at 844-340-9741. Hyundai's number for this recall is 034G. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov July 31, 2026.

What to do
- Enter your VIN in NHTSA’s lookup (below) to confirm that your vehicle is included and that the repair has not already been done.
- Call a dealer for the brand and book the repair. Quote NHTSA campaign 26V-493 and the manufacturer’s number 034G.
- If you notice burning smells, flickering power or warning lamps, have the vehicle checked before continuing to use it.
- Safety recall repairs are carried out free of charge by the manufacturer’s dealers. If you already paid for this repair yourself, ask the manufacturer about reimbursement and keep your receipt.
Check by VIN
A campaign rarely covers every vehicle of a model year. Enter your 17-character VIN to find the recall campaigns filed for your make, model and model year. The VIN is on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the door-jamb label, and on your registration and insurance documents.
Is a recall still open on your vehicle? Only NHTSA’s official VIN check can say whether a campaign applies to your exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been done.
Your VIN is decoded with NHTSA’s public vPIC service to identify the make, model and year. It is not stored and is not added to any page address.
