Hyundai recalled certain 2027 Genesis G80 sedans on July 30, 2026 — the ignition coil ground bolt may be loose, causing an engine misfire or a stall while driving.

Dealers tighten the ground bolt free of charge; owner letters are expected September 27, 2026 (NHTSA campaign 26V493000, Hyundai recall 034G).

A luxury sedan's drive power hanging on the torque of one bolt.

Dealers tighten the bolt free of charge, making one fastener's torque the whole recall—the cheapest part on the line stalls the flagship sedan.
