What's wrong?
The instrument cluster in the 2015 Hyundai Genesis is the display panel directly in front of the driver. It shows vehicle speed and warning lights, so the driver can see how fast the sedan is moving and whether a system needs attention. On these Genesis sedans, the issue involves the 7 inch TFT-LCD cluster.
The problem comes from a communication error between the Audio, Visual, and Navigation head unit and the instrument cluster. When those modules do not exchange information correctly, the cluster can show the wrong vehicle speed. It can also turn on all warning lights at once or fail to turn on a warning light that needs to be lit.
Owners can notice the cluster blinking or flashing. That is the warning sign Hyundai identified before the display gives incorrect speed or warning-light information.

What's the safety risk?
An instrument cluster that shows the wrong vehicle speed or warning lights gives the driver bad information and increases the risk of a crash. If the cluster blinks or flashes, schedule service soon and use extra care until it is fixed. Repair is free at any franchised Genesis dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Genesis technician updates the instrument cluster software so the display reports vehicle speed and warning lights correctly. The software update and labor are free under the recall, and the remedy is available through the Genesis dealer network. Hyundai also provides reimbursement for qualifying instrument cluster repairs paid before the recall notice under its submitted reimbursement plan. If you paid for a related repair, bring the repair order and proof of payment to the service desk or contact Hyundai customer service for the claim process.
