The GV70's documented problems are safety recalls. Gas models were recalled for fuel pump failures (2022–2023), a fuel pipe-to-rail leak (2022–2026) and, on 2024 models, a water-damaged transmission harness that can shift the SUV out of Park (24V205). The Electrified GV70 shares the charging-unit (ICCU) recall 24V868. All repairs are free.
CarWhere lists 9 documented GV70 issues, including 9 NHTSA safety recalls, each with affected years, powertrains, symptoms, pre-purchase checks and a source. Recall entries come from NHTSA's recall dataset on the DOT open-data portal, which may not list every campaign, so run the specific VIN through NHTSA's recall lookup.
