    The problem with the sedans and SUVs has been traced to the fuel pump

    Genesis is recalling over 31,000 additional GV70 and GV80 SUVs and G80 and G90 sedans from the 2022 and 2023 model years because they may stall while driving, which could cause a crash. Genesis, the luxury division of Hyundai Motor Group, previously recalled 19,000 older vehicles in 2023 for the same issue. (Learn more about who owns which car brands.)

    The problem has to do with a trouble-prone fuel pump. If the pump fails, gas won’t reach the engine and it could stall while driving. Drivers might first notice the check engine light coming on, or the engine hesitating or running roughly.

    To fix the issue, Genesis dealers will replace the faulty fuel pumps, free of charge.

    The automaker is aware of 463 complaints and no injuries, crashes, or fires related to this issue, according to documents provided by Genesis to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

    The problem: A faulty fuel pump impeller could fail while driving, starving the engine of gasoline. As a result, the engine could suddenly stop running, which could cause a crash.

    Check to see whether your vehicle has an open recall: NHTSA’s website will tell you whether your vehicle has any open recalls that need to be addressed.

    If you plug your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) into NHTSA’s website and a recall doesn’t appear, it means your vehicle doesn’t currently have any open recalls. Because automakers issue recalls often, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking back regularly to see whether your vehicle has had a recall issued.
