Genesis G70

Where it stands out against its peers

• Fuel/propulsion system: more complaints than 91% of 2019 cars — 17% of its 60 complaints, where an ordinary 2019 car has 7%.
• Gasoline: more complaints than 91% of 2019 cars — 10% of its 60 complaints, where an ordinary 2019 car has 2%.
• Fuel system: more complaints than 90% of 2019 cars — 10% of its 60 complaints, where an ordinary 2019 car has 2%.

Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.

Crash test

Crash-tested by NHTSA, the American road safety agency.

Specification

Recalls

Filed by the manufacturer with a regulator. A recall is repaired free of charge, whoever owns the car now.

62% of 2022 cars have more recall campaigns than this one, and an ordinary one has 3. More of them means more to check the service record for, not a worse car.

Regulator investigations

Opened by NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. An investigation is a question the regulator asked about a possible defect, not a fault it found — most end without a recall.

  Audit query, opened November 2023, still open.

What the maker told its dealers

Service bulletins are the manufacturer's own repair guidance to dealers, filed with NHTSA. A bulletin is not a defect finding; the count rises with how many things a maker writes down, not only with how many go wrong.
