What's wrong?
The fuel pump assembly on the 2021 Genesis G70 feeds gasoline from the tank to the 2.0 liter GDI engine. Inside that assembly, the jet nozzle helps move fuel through the pump so the engine receives a steady supply under normal driving.
On affected G70 vehicles, the fuel pump was built with a plastic burr on the jet nozzle. A burr is a small leftover edge from molding. If that extra plastic blocks the nozzle, the pump cannot supply enough fuel to the engine. The repair uses a fuel pump assembly without burrs on the jet nozzle.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is inside the fuel pump assembly, so an owner should not expect to spot it by looking at the vehicle or waiting for a clear symptom.

What's the safety risk?
Insufficient fuel supply can cause an engine stall, which increases the risk of a crash. If the engine stalls, move out of traffic when you can do so safely and contact a Genesis dealer before driving again. Repair will be free at any franchised Genesis dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021 Genesis G70 is included in this recall.
- Wait for Genesis repair instructions before scheduling dealer work if your VIN is included.
- Contact Genesis customer service at 1-855-371-9460 with questions and reference recall number 20V569.
- Ask a franchised Genesis dealer about the free fuel-pump jet-nozzle inspection and repair that addresses engine stalling from restricted fuel flow.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Pull over safely if the engine loses power.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Genesis technician will inspect the fuel pump assembly jet nozzle and repair the assembly as needed. The remedy is still listed as under development, so do not assume the final dealer repair can be scheduled until Genesis confirms it is open for your VIN. The final dealer repair will be free once available. Hyundai's reimbursement plan covers eligible owner-paid repairs under the plan submitted on May 16, 2018. Keep invoices and repair paperwork, then ask Genesis Customer Care or the service desk how to submit the claim.
