2017-20 Genesis DH G80: short circuit and fire hazard

In May 2021, recall campaign 11D072 was issued for Genesis DH G80 vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 1 October 2017 to 31 January 2020. Due to a manufacturing error, an electronic control circuit board in the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) module may short circuit when the components were exposed to moisture. This posed a risk of a fire, even when the vehicle was turned off, because the circuit was constantly powered. This fire risk increased the risk of a collision and therefore injury to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and/or property damage. The short circuit did not, however, affect the functioning of the brake system. Until rectified, affected vehicles were to be parked in open spaces and away from flammable materials and structures. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-001597.
