SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
- The defect
- Hyundai Motor America (Genesis) is recalling certain 2015-2016 Hyundai Genesis, and 2017-2020 Genesis G80 vehicles. The front power seat motors may overheat due to a stuck power seat control switch, which can result in a fire while parked or driving.
- What it can cause
- A fire increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised to park their vehicles outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the repair has been performed. The remedy is currently under development. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 7, 2026. Owners of Hyundai vehicles may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Genesis owners may contact Genesis customer service at 844-340-1200. Hyundai recall number for this recall is 308 and Genesis' recall number is 035G.

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.
How this campaign compares
At 94,622 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 92% of the 19,892 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers model years 2015 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 11 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Hyundai vehicles have been recalled over the seats 5 times before this, most recently in September 2026 as 26V588000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 592 complaints with NHTSA, 585 of them before this campaign was filed. 10 of those name the seats, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in January 2015, 11 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 24V191000 (engine and engine cooling), 24V107000 (electrical system), 21V160000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Hyundai Motor America with NHTSA on October 9, 2026 as campaign 26V664000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
