ABS Recall

[Ragnar]

In today’s mail received a recall notice stating a problem may exist with the electronics in the ABS module on the 2015-16 Genesis that could possibly cause a fire hazard and I’ll receive a further letter when a solution is found’ wondering how serious this problem may be, anyone else gotten one of these recently?

#201 Recall

I purchase a used 2015 genesis. The dealership will not let me have my car because of the recall and they feel that it would be a liability. Does anyone know if you can buy your own abs fuse and take it to the dealership and have it replace.

G80 Recalls

Good morning all, does anyone have any news on the G80 2017-2020 recall for the ABS system module that could malfunction and cause a fire? The Genesis America site says they have no remedy for it yet? I imported my G80 to Canada, at the time of purchase there were no recalls so breezing through...

ABS Fire Recall

In reading the NHTSA Safety Recall Report 21V-160 there seems to be some conflicting information. In one section it says the problem can occur wether parked or if you are driving. (I'm not going to possibly endanger someone while there is a possibility of fire while driving) In another section...

Well, I would assume an older ABS module(like in your car) would be the one prone to failure so I would take the recall seriously. Just my opinion.

Same here. I got my recall notice yesterday in the mail and have to wait for the solution letter to arrive later. This is the oddest recall I have been part of. Car is a fire hazard, but it is safe to drive and there is no official solution for the problem.

Hyundai is really lucky I like my Genesis 5.0; or I would jump ship to another brand.

What brand would you jump to? Could an Accent be in your future?

Accent is a still a Hyundai.

I would most likely go with Lexus or even a fully loaded 2020+ Honda Accord Touring which has as much tech as my 2015 Genesis with adaptive suspension, cooled seats and HUD. I see a few Touring models on Auto Trader that is calling my name. However, I just like my Genesis so much that I really do not want to trade it in.

Therefore, I will keep my 5.0 and hopefully the ABS recall will just be a fuse fix that will prevent a fire in case the ABS module does go bad over time. All cars can be subject to recalls, but I do not like ones that can burn down my house.

Here is the Honda Accord I have on my short list of replacement cars in the future. I have never owned a Honda or Acura(very plain cars in the past), but I am liking the newer fully optioned out models avaible now.

I don't know if I would take the Honda as a serious contender in this class. Need to see one in person.

LOL. The Honda Accord is not an actual luxury car that could compete with an Genesis model, but it is a nicely equipped near-luxury car with the touring package that has a lot of premium features you find in a luxury car. The 2020 Honda Accord seems to be competeing more against the newer KIA K5 and Hyundai Sonata models as opposed to the Genesis models.

The 2020 Honda Accord Touring is a nice car, but it is still not a real luxury cruiser like a G80. However, it is still on my watch-list as an replacement for my Genesis if the need arises for me to jump ship.
