Recall 15V756 affects 10,800 2013-2015 Hyundai Genesis Coupe vehicles for loose differential bolts and driveshaft separation. Repair is free at any franchised Genesis dealer.
Hyundai is recalling 10,800 2013-2015 Genesis Coupe vehicles under recall 15V756 because misalignment between the rear differential and suspension rear crossmember can loosen the differential mounting bolts. If the differential shifts, the driveshaft can disconnect and the vehicle can lose propulsion, which increases crash risk; the Genesis dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The differential on a 2013-2015 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is the driveline unit that sends engine power to the rear wheels while letting the wheels turn at different speeds in a curve. It is mounted at the rear of the vehicle and held to the suspension rear crossmember, the frame section that supports key rear suspension parts.
On affected manual-transmission Genesis Coupe vehicles, the differential and rear crossmember were not properly aligned during assembly. That misalignment puts the mounting hardware in the wrong working position. The bolts that secure the differential can loosen over time, leaving the differential less firmly attached than designed.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not rely on noise, vibration, or a dashboard light to confirm that these bolts are still secure.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2013-2015 Genesis Coupe, with driveline and rear suspension components named for each model year.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific coupe is included.
What's the safety risk?
A rear differential that loosens from its mounting position can let the driveshaft disconnect from the differential. That means loss of propulsion while driving and an increased risk of a crash. Schedule the recall repair soon and drive cautiously until the dealer checks the assembly. Repair will be free at any franchised Genesis dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2015 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Genesis dealer to schedule the free differential assembly inspection.
- Ask the dealer to verify the differential and rear crossmember alignment so the differential bolts stay secured.
- Bring the recall notice if Hyundai mailed one. If not, reference recall number 15V756 when you call.
- Call Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059 with questions, and reference Hyundai recall 135.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Genesis technician checks the differential assembly and confirms that the differential and rear suspension crossmember were aligned correctly during vehicle assembly. If the inspection finds loose differential mounting bolts or related assembly issues, the dealer corrects the condition under the recall. The final dealer repair will be free once available. Hyundai's filing describes the recall repair as free of charge.
