Genesis Recalls
Check open Genesis recalls by VIN. CheckMyVIN queries NHTSA's live recall API on every lookup — no stale snapshots, no signup.
How Genesis recall lookups work
When you enter a Genesis VIN, CheckMyVIN first decodes the vehicle (make, model, model year) against NHTSA VPIC. Those three fields are then sent to the NHTSA recallsByVehicle API, which returns every open campaign on file. Each result shows the official NHTSA campaign number (format: two-digit year, "V" for vehicle, six-digit sequence — e.g. 19V472000), the affected component, a paraphrased plain-English summary, and the dealer remedy. Genesis dealers perform recall work at no charge regardless of who currently owns the vehicle.
Why check Genesis recalls before buying used?
A used-car dealer is not required to complete open recalls before sale in most US states. Run the VIN before the test drive — if a recall is open, you can either ask the dealer to complete it before delivery, negotiate the price, or schedule the free fix at a Genesis authorized dealer after purchase.
Notable past Genesis recall campaigns
A few well-documented campaigns to show the kind of data CheckMyVIN surfaces per VIN. Click any campaign number for the full record on nhtsa.gov. Summaries below paraphrase the official NHTSA records — verify against the source for the authoritative wording.
NHTSA campaign 21V161000
Service brakes: ABS control module (fire risk)
2019-2021 Genesis G70
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module could malfunction and short-circuit, which can cause an engine-compartment fire whether parked or driving. As an interim step owners are advised to park outdoors, away from structures, until repaired. Genesis dealers replace the affected part at no charge.
NHTSA campaign 24V191000
Engine: turbocharger oil feed pipe
2019-2022 Genesis G70, 2018-2020 G80, and 2017-2022 G90 with the 3.3L twin-turbo V6
On the 3.3L twin-turbo V6, the left turbocharger oil-feed pipe can deteriorate and leak oil; oil reaching hot engine parts raises the risk of an engine-compartment fire. Genesis dealers replace the left turbocharger oil-feed pipe at no charge.

What CheckMyVIN does not do
Some recalls are VIN-specific within a model year — only certain build dates or option packages are affected. NHTSA's public API returns the campaign for the year/make/model; for the final "is my exact VIN affected" answer, Genesis also publishes a VIN-specific lookup on their owners site, and you can search any campaign number on the NHTSA recall portal. CheckMyVIN cites every campaign by its official number so you can verify independently.
