The GV80's documented problems are safety recalls, and the most common theme is the fuel system: a leaking 2.5T high-pressure fuel tube (21V208), fuel pump failures on 2021–2023 models (23V630, 24V282) and a fuel pipe-to-rail leak on 2021–2025 models (26V229). Other campaigns cover seat belt pretensioners and instrument-panel and rearview-camera software. All are fixed free by Genesis retailers.
CarWhere lists 8 documented GV80 issues, including 8 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.
