Hyundai Recalls 2013-2015 Genesis Coupe for Differential Bolt Loosening

Hyundai is recalling 2013-2015 Genesis Coupes with manual transmissions because rear differential bolts may loosen, potentially causing loss of propulsion and increased crash risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (driveline/differential) that can lead to loss of propulsion and an increased risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Hyundai Motor America is recalling approximately 10,800 model year 2013-2015 Genesis Coupe vehicles manufactured between December 28, 2011, and April 6, 2015. The recall affects vehicles equipped with manual transmissions where the differential and suspension rear crossmember may not have been properly aligned during assembly.

In these vehicles, the bolts securing the differential may loosen. If the rear differential loosens from its mounting position, the driveshaft may disconnect from the differential. This failure results in a loss of propulsion and an increased risk of a crash.

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will verify the proper assembly of the differential free of charge. The recall began on December 30, 2015. Owners may contact Hyundai's customer service at 1-855-671-3059 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
