On the 2021-2026 Genesis G80, the G80 with optional air suspension can experience premature compressor failure, especially in cold climates. The compressor works overtime to compensate for slow air leaks in the struts, eventually overheating and failing.
Replace the air suspension compressor and inspect all air lines and struts for leaks. Address any leaking struts simultaneously. Some owners convert to conventional springs, though this removes the ride height adjustment feature.
On the 2022-2026 Genesis G80 Electric, the Electrified G80 experiences occasional software-related issues including incorrect range estimates, failed DC fast charging sessions, and 12V battery management faults. The EV-specific software is still maturing compared to the ICE platform.
Update to the latest EV software through the dealer or OTA. Reset the BMS by disconnecting the 12V battery for 30 minutes. Report failed charging sessions to Genesis Connected Services for remote diagnostics.
On the 2017-2026 Genesis G80, the G80 infotainment system experiences intermittent software glitches including screen blackouts, navigation errors, and unresponsive touch inputs. OTA updates have introduced new bugs while fixing existing ones on several occasions.
Keep the system updated to the latest firmware. Perform a factory reset after major OTA updates. Visit the dealer for a head unit reflash if persistent issues occur. The rotary controller can be used as a backup input method.
On the 2017-2020 Genesis G80, the 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 in earlier G80 Sport models can develop a wastegate rattle at idle and low RPM. The wastegate actuator arm and flap develop play over time, creating a metallic ticking or rattling sound most noticeable at operating temperature.
Have the wastegate actuator preload adjusted at the dealer. In some cases, the wastegate actuator assembly needs replacement. Updated actuators with tighter tolerances are available for affected engines.
