2014-17 Hyundai DH Genesis: short circuit and fire hazard
In May 2021, recall campaign 11D054 was issued for Hyundai DH Genesis vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 1 October 2014 to 30 June 2017. 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 PRA 2021/18935.
2013-16 Hyundai DH Genesis: water ingress to starter motor and potential short circuit
In August 2024, recall campaign 41D078 was issued for 2013-16 Hyundai DH Genesis vehicles. Due to a manufacturing defect, inadequate sealing of the starter motor may allow moisture to enter the unit. If this occurred, it could cause a short circuit and a vehicle engine compartment fire, regardless of whether the vehicle was parked or driving. For this recall, a Hyundai dealer was to replace the starter motor. Until the recall works were carried out, owners were advised that their vehicle should be parked in an open space and away from flammable materials and structures (i.e. not in a garage).For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-006066.

Hyundai DH Genesis V6: misfire and rough idle
In October 2015, Hyundai issued Technical Service Bulletin 15-FL-005 for 2015 Hyundai DH Genesis vehicles that had 3.8-litre V6 engines. According to the bulletin, these vehicles may exhibit the following symptoms –
- The malfunction indicator light (MIL, or ‘check engine’ light) may blink on and off;
- The engine may have a rough idle; and,
- The following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may be logged in the powertrain control module (PCM): P0315 (crankshaft position system variation not learned) and P0300 (random/multiple cylinder – misfire detected).
To fix, the crankshaft position sensor was to be replaced. If this did not fix the problem, then the transmission was to be removed so that the ‘drive plate’ (i.e. the crankshaft position sensor wheel and plate) could be replaced.
