Hyundai Recalls about 24,400 examples of 2015 Genesis Sedans to Workshop Due to Likely Water Leak

If you have a 2015 Hyundai Genesis or you know someone who has one, this update is for you. Hyundai is recalling approximately 24,400 examples of the 2015 model year Genesis luxury sedan worldwide for a water leak issue that could lead to shifter display problems in the automobiles.

A weak seal defect may cause water to leak into the taillight assemblies and cause an incorrect gear display on the gauge cluster monitor, and could also delay the engagement of the selected gear.

There is a possibility that drivers could accidentally engage the wrong gear based on the incorrect information on the display. The taillights are electrically connected to the gear selector and a weak seal could allow water into the assembly. Good news is, Hyundai confirms that no crashes have occurred as a result of this issue.

The Genesis sedans affected by this recall were manufactured between Feb. 21, 2014 and Jan. 24, 2015. To fix the anomaly requires the installation of pads to prevent water leaks into the taillight assemblies, and this work will be performed at the dealer workshops free of charge.

Hyundai will begin notifying owners of affected cars as from April, but owners can contact Hyundai directly for more information and updates on the likely dates for the recall. This is not a reason to panic as Hyundai is well able to provide the Genesis owners adequate support to ensure their automobiles are in top shape.
