Recall 26V019 affects 83,877 2025-2026 Genesis G80, GV60, GV70, and GV80, including Electrified variants, for instrument-panel display failure. Free repair at Genesis dealers.
Genesis is recalling 83,877 2025-2026 G80, GV80, GV60, GV70, G80 Electrified, and GV70 Electrified vehicles because a software error can cause the instrument panel display to fail. A failed display can hide critical safety information, including speed or fuel level, which increases the risk of a crash; Genesis dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The affected part in Genesis recall 26V019 is the head unit assembly, the audio, video, and navigation computer that sends display information to the instrument cluster and center screen. On 2025-2026 G80, G80 Electrified, GV60, GV70, GV70 Electrified, and GV80 vehicles, that signal lets the driver see required information on the instrument panel while the vehicle is in use.
The problem is in the software that handles HD and analog radio data. When both sets of radio data are written to the same memory location, overlapping software routines can overwrite data. That error can force the head unit to reboot, which stops the instrument cluster and center display from receiving the output signal for 5 to 10 seconds.
There is no warning sign before failure. The display can go blank during vehicle operation, then return after the system finishes rebooting.

What's the safety risk?
If the instrument panel display fails to show the speedometer or fuel gauge, you lose information needed to judge speed and fuel level, which increases the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before the display problem. Disable HD radio until the recall remedy is complete. Repair is free at any franchised Genesis dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025-2026 Genesis GV70, GV70 Electrified, GV80, GV60, G80, or G80 Electrified vehicle is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Genesis dealer to schedule the free instrument-panel software inspection and update that fixes the display failure.
- Disable the HD radio feature until the software update or dealer inspection is complete.
- Install the over-the-air audio video navigation software update when Genesis sends it, or have the dealer complete the update.
- Bring the recall notice if Genesis mailed one. If not, reference recall number 26V019 and Genesis recall 031G when you call.
- Call Genesis customer service at 844-340-9741 with questions about the free repair.
What happens at the repair
Until the update is complete, keep the HD radio feature disabled. Genesis will update the audio video navigation software over the air, or a Genesis technician will inspect the system and install the update at the dealer. The software update, inspection, and dealer labor are free under the recall. If you've already paid for a related software update before the recall notice, ask Genesis customer service or the service desk about the manufacturer's general reimbursement plan and provide documentation for the expense.
