Genesis is recalling its G70 sports sedan as it could unexpectedly lose power.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the fuel control valve in the high-pressure fuel pump could allow excess fuel to enter the pump,” the company says in its recall notice.
“If this occurs, the engine could stall resulting in a sudden loss of motive power whilst driving.
“A sudden loss of motive power whilst driving increases the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”
