Genesis Recalls (2017-2026)
Genesis has 32 recall campaigns on record across 8 models and the 2017 to 2026 model years. Most involve the electrical system, fuel system, and seat belts.
Genesis scores 11 out of 100 (grade F) for recall severity, which ranks it 52 of 52 makes and among the heaviest of any brand we track. The score is the recall-weighted average of its models, so the brands with the most do-not-drive and critical-safety recalls sit at the bottom. How the score works.
In total, NHTSA lists 32 Genesis recall campaigns across 8 models for the 2017-2026 model years. The single largest affected 294,128 vehicles. The system recalled most often is the electrical system.
A high recall count usually tracks how many cars a brand sells and how long its models have been on the road, not how dangerous they are. The safety score below adjusts for that by weighing how serious and recent each recall is. The table further down breaks every Genesis model out so you can see which ones drive the count.
