Transport Canada lists: G 70 2019 · G 80 2017–2019 · G 90 2017–2019 · Genesis 2015–2016

What is wrong

Under certain conditions, water could leak into the starter solenoid. If this happens, the solenoid could short circuit.

Why it matters

A short circuit can create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.

What the dealer will do

Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install an updated relay in the engine junction box. Hyundai recommends that you should park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.

What is wrong

Hyundai is conducting a special service campaign that provides anti-corrosion treatment to certain underbody components. Over time, components under the vehicle, including brake lines could corrode. If this happens, a brake line could fail and leak. A brake fluid leak can result in reduced braking.

Why it matters

Reduced braking can cause an extended stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the underbody, including the brake lines. The dealer will apply an anti-corrosion treatment to certain parts, and replace the brake lines if necessary.

Transport Canada lists: G 80 2017–2020 · Genesis 2015–2016

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a problem in the control module for the antilock brake system (ABS) could cause it to short circuit.

Why it matters

A short circuit could create a fire risk.

What the dealer will do

Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the fuse for the ABS module. Hyundai recommends that you should park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed.

Transport Canada recall 2020192 · manufacturer campaign R0170 (01D040)

1 May 2020

Transport Canada lists: Genesis 2016

What is wrong

On certain cars, the bolts that attach the driver-front airbag may not be tightened correctly. As a result, the airbag could become loose. If you continue to operate the vehicle with a loose airbag, it may detach from the steering wheel.

Why it matters

An airbag that is loose or detaches from the steering wheel could create an increased risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

Hyundai will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your car to a dealer to inspect the driver-front airbag mounting bolts and tighten them, if necessary.

Brakes

Transport Canada recall 2017300 · manufacturer campaign R0132 (71C051)

8 June 2017

Transport Canada lists: Genesis 2015–2016

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a manual parking brake, the electrical switch which illuminates the parking brake warning light in the instrument cluster could become corroded. This could result in the parking brake warning light intermittently not illuminating when the parking brake is applied. A failure of the parking brake indicator to illuminate when the parking brake is applied can result in a driver misapplication of the parking brake, which may cause the following conditions: effect on vehicle acceleration, parking brake noise and/or parking brake “drag” and smoke and/or smell from driving with the applied parking brake.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the parking brake switch with a switch that revised contact material.

Transport Canada recall 2016508 · manufacturer campaign R0122 (61C071)

17 October 2016

Transport Canada lists: Genesis 2010–2016

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, objects or debris located under the front passenger seat could contact the electrical connector of the Occupant Classification System (OCS) and disconnect the connector if the seat is moved. This would disable the OCS and illuminate the instrument cluster Air Bag warning lamp. If the OCS is disabled, the first stage front passenger airbag would deploy in a frontal collision, regardless of the weight and size of the front passenger seat occupant. If the seat were to be occupied by a child seat or small statured occupant, it could increase the risk of injury. Additionally, this condition could cause the second stage of the frontal passenger airbag to fail to deploy during a crash, which could increase the risk of injury to the front passenger seat occupant.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will secure the OCS connector to prevent it from being disconnected.
