What's wrong?
The crossover fuel pipe on 2021-2026 Genesis G80, G90, GV70, and GV80 vehicles carries fuel across the engine to the fuel rail. The fuel rail is the metal supply tube that feeds pressurized fuel to the injectors. That connection has to stay tight so fuel stays inside the closed fuel system.
In recall 26V229, fuel can leak at the pipe connection between the fuel pipe and the fuel rail. Genesis traced the problem to retention fasteners that were tightened with too little torque stabilizer during assembly. That stabilizer helps the fastener hold its clamping force, and without enough of it, the axial holding force drops over time.
An owner or passenger can notice a fuel smell inside or around the vehicle before the leak is found. Treat that odor as the warning sign, especially after starting the engine, driving, or parking after a trip.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Genesis technician inspects the fuel pipe connection between the fuel pipe and fuel rail, then tightens the connection or replaces the fuel pipe if needed. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Genesis uses its standard reimbursement plan for owners who paid out of pocket for the same fuel pipe repair before the recall notice. Bring repair invoices and payment records to the service desk, or contact Genesis customer service if the dealer asks for a reimbursement claim path.
