2024 Genesis GV70 Transmission Recall Due to Water Intrusion Risk

Certain 2024 Genesis GV70 vehicles are recalled because water may leak into the transmission control harness, causing electrical shorts that shift the transmission from Park to Neutral, risking vehicle rollaway.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: Water intrusion into the transmission control harness causing electrical short circuits and unintended Park-to-Neutral shifts represents a structural vehicle defect. While no injuries are explicitly reported, the defect poses significant risk of vehicle rollaway and crash, meeting the Severe criterion for structural vehicle defects with potential for serious harm.
