It's AM or FM radio for almost 84,000 Genesis owners until March of this year
Nearly 84,000 Genesis vehicles have an instrument failure issue. Affected screens may suddenly reboot or briefly stop working. The update addressing the issue is expected by early March. Genesis just issued a new recall covering nearly 84,000 vehicles, but there’s no need to worry about misbehaving driver aids, parking outside, or a luxury SUV that might roll away on its own.
Instead, owners are being told to disable their high-definition radio. No, not because it might advertise another car brand, but because it can shut off the entire screen altogether while the car is in motion. More: Hyundai, Kia, Genesis Recall Nearly Every Single e-GMP EV In America According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration , Genesis is recalling a wide range of 2025 and 2026 model-year sedans and SUVs after discovering that their digital instrument clusters can intermittently reboot and go blank. When that happens, drivers may lose access to critical information such as vehicle speed, warning alerts, and fuel or battery levels for up to 10 seconds at a time. Which Models Are Affected? The recall covers six different Genesis models, totaling 83,877 vehicles in the U.S. These include the 2025–2026 G80, the 2026 G80 Electrified, the 2026 GV60, the 2026 GV70 and GV70 Electrified, and the 2025–2026 GV80. While recalls from Hyundai Motor Group often span multiple brands, this issue appears to be limited strictly to Genesis products. The heart of the issue involves a software logic error in the vehicle’s head unit and integrated display system. Both HD and analog radio data are being written to the same memory location due to overlapping software routines. Under certain conditions, that overlap can trigger a data overwrite error, causing the system to reboot and temporarily cut the display output to both the instrument cluster and infotainment screen. Hyundai says it has received 237 reports related to the issue between late September 2024 and early January 2026, but no crashes, injuries, or fatalities have been linked to the problem so far. Also: Ford Recalled More Cars Than The Next 9 Brands Combined In 2025 A permanent software fix is expected by mid-March. Owners will be able to visit a Genesis dealer for an update, or download it over the air if their vehicle supports OTA updates. In the meantime, Genesis recommends that affected drivers disable the HD radio feature while on the road. That’s right. Back to FM and AM folks, at least for now.
