What is the 2022-2026 Genesis GV70 Fuel Pipe-to-Rail Connection Leak Fire Risk?
Fuel can leak at the pipe connection between the high-pressure fuel pipe and the fuel rail. A fuel leak in the engine bay near hot components raises the risk of an underhood fire. Genesis issued safety recall 033G (NHTSA 26V-229) in April 2026 covering roughly 26,000 GV70 from th… Repairs typically run $0-$0. Severity: high.
What is the 2023-2025 Genesis GV70 ICCU Failure Causing Loss of Drive Power (Electrified GV70)?
The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) manages charging of the high-voltage pack and the 12V battery that runs accessories and control modules. The ICCU (and its internal fuse) can become damaged and stop charging the 12V system. The car then enters a fail-safe mode with war… Repairs typically run $0-$0. Severity: high.

On the 2023-2025 Genesis GV70 Dual-Motor Electric (Electrified GV70), the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) manages charging of the high-voltage pack and the 12V battery that runs accessories and control modules. The ICCU (and its internal fuse) can become damaged and stop charging the 12V system. The car then enters a fail-safe mode with warning lights, audible alerts, and reduced power; if driving continues it can fully lose drive power, sometimes preceded by an audible 'pop.' Drivers typically have ~22-45 minutes to pull over, with steering and brakes still functional. Genesis covered this under recalls tied to NHTSA 24V-204, expanded/replaced by Genesis 025G (Dec 2024), part of the broad Hyundai/Kia/Genesis ICCU campaign. The failed ICCU also produces dead-12V 'bricked' no-start events.
Loss of drive power / reduced propulsion while driving
Audible 'pop' then warning lights and alarms
Repeated dead 12V battery / no-start ('bricked')
Vehicle fails to DC fast charge or AC charge
Check electric vehicle system warning
How to Fix
Verify the VIN against the ICCU recalls (Genesis 025G; NHTSA 24V-204 and its expansions). Dealers inspect and replace the ICCU and its fuse as necessary and apply updated ICCU software, free of charge. If you experience warning lights plus a power-reduction message, pull over and arrange transport rather than continuing to drive. A repeat dead-12V battery on an Electrified GV70 should trigger an ICCU diagnosis, not just a battery swap.
On the 2022-2026 Genesis GV70, the GV70 infotainment system occasionally freezes mid-use, requiring the vehicle to be restarted to recover. The screen may go black or become unresponsive to touch and rotary controller inputs during navigation or media playback.
Hold the power/volume knob for 10 seconds to force a soft reset. Update to the latest software via OTA or dealer visit. Clear the navigation cache and reduce stored Bluetooth device pairings.
On the 2023-2025 Genesis GV70, incorrect software logic in the screen-initialization protocol (memory loading and error storage) can cause the digital instrument panel cluster to flicker or go completely blank at startup. When the cluster is inoperative, critical information such as the speedometer, fuel/charge gauge, and certain warning lights is obscured, which fails to comply with FMVSS 101 and increases crash risk. Genesis issued recall 031G covering the 2025 ICE GV70 and 2023-2025 Electrified GV70 (and GV80/G80), affecting roughly 32,500-36,000 vehicles. Owners report the cluster staying dark on start with a center screen that is unaffected.
Common Symptoms
Instrument cluster blank or black at startup
Cluster flickering or partially inoperative
Missing speedometer / gauges
Warning lights not displaying
Cluster recovers after restart but recurs
How to Fix
Check the VIN against Genesis recall 031G. The remedy is a free instrument-panel-display software update; on many vehicles it is delivered as an over-the-air (OTA) update, otherwise the dealer reflashes the cluster. If the cluster is blank, do not drive relying on the center screen; have the update applied.
On the 2022-2025 Genesis GV70, owners across both the ICE and Electrified GV70 report the 12V battery going dead after the car sits for only a few days, leaving the vehicle unresponsive and unable to start ('bricked'). Genesis Roadside and dealers have told owners the car must be driven 30 minutes every 3-7 days to keep the 12V charged. Reported root causes vary: parasitic draw from electronic modules and telematics, the key fob staying in constant communication when left in the car, a weak/corrupt-cell 12V battery, loose wiring, and on Electrified models a failing ICCU not charging the 12V. The pattern is frequent enough that many owners run battery tenders.
Warning to drive the vehicle to charge the battery
How to Fix
Have the dealer perform a parasitic-draw test and load-test the 12V battery; replace the battery if a cell is bad (often done under warranty). Keep the key fob out of the car when parked for long periods, and on cars that sit, use a battery tender or drive ~30 minutes weekly. On Electrified GV70s, confirm the ICCU recalls (025G / 24V-204 family) are completed, since ICCU failure is a major cause of repeat 12V deaths. Persistent draw with no obvious cause warrants module-by-module isolation by the dealer.

YEAR/BUILD VARIANT, not a second choice. GV70s built 03/2021-06/2021 (earliest 2022 model-year cars) were fitted with 37110-AR820 instead of 37110-CG820.
On the 2023-2026 Genesis GV70 Electric, the Electrified GV70 shows significant variation between estimated and actual driving range, particularly in cold weather. The range estimate algorithm does not adequately account for cabin heating, terrain, and highway speeds, leading to range anxiety.
Precondition the battery while plugged in before cold weather departures. Use ECO mode for maximum range. The BMS learns driving patterns over time and range estimates improve after 2,000-3,000 miles of ownership.
On the 2022-2025 Genesis GV70, the GV70's Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM) projects the side camera feed into the instrument cluster when a turn signal is applied, and the Surround View Monitor (SVM) composites the four exterior cameras into a bird's-eye image. Owners report the BVM feed simply not appearing when the signal is used, and the SVM image flickering, showing a black tile where one camera should be, or not appearing at all. Genesis's own owner documentation acknowledges the failure mode and instructs owners to have the vehicle inspected when the SVM screen flickers or the camera image does not appear normally. The documented causes split between the AVN/head-unit software side - where display faults have been serious enough to generate cluster/AVN software recalls on this platform - and the camera side, where an individual mirror-mounted or tailgate-mounted camera or its coax/LVDS connector has failed. Because both cameras and the composited view are safety aids that owners come to rely on for lane changes and tight parking, a silently dead feed is more than cosmetic.
Common Symptoms
Blind-Spot View camera image does not appear in the cluster when the turn signal is used
Surround View bird's-eye image flickers or shows a black tile for one camera
Camera view fails to appear when reverse is selected
Image works intermittently and returns after an ignition cycle
How to Fix
Clean the lens, update the AVN/cluster, then identify the specific failed camera tile and inspect its connector. A camera is position- and option-specific and requires surround-view calibration, so no generic module is approved.
On the 2022-2024 Genesis GV70, gV70 owners report a cluster of related smart-key faults that all trace to weak or intermittent fob-to-vehicle communication rather than to the door hardware. Symptoms include the proximity door handles failing to unlock with the fob in a pocket, doors not locking properly when walking away, the proximity liftgate not triggering while the fob button still opens it, and - the diagnostic tell - the vehicle refusing to start until the fob is physically held against the start/stop button, which is the backup inductive-coupling path the system falls back to when RF communication fails. Because the same fob covers entry, walk-away lock and start, owners often chase a door-lock actuator when the real fault is the fob battery, a degraded fob transmitter, or the vehicle-side smart key antenna/receiver. Genesis has also issued fob software updates on this platform, which dealers apply with a programming cable.
Common Symptoms
Doors will not unlock on proximity with the fob in a pocket
Doors fail to lock reliably on walk-away
Vehicle will not start unless the fob is held against the start/stop button
Proximity liftgate open does not trigger although the fob button works
Intermittent - works normally after a few attempts or an ignition cycle
How to Fix
Replace the fob coin cell first and compare both fobs. If the same fault persists, use the emergency start method and have Genesis update/re-register the key system before ordering a transmitter, antenna or receiver.

On the 2024 Genesis GV70, blanking pins were incorrectly installed in the transmission control harness connectors at the supplier, allowing water to enter the connectors and cause an electrical short. The short can make the transmission controls erroneously and unexpectedly shift from Park to Neutral, allowing the vehicle to roll away if the parking brake is not set. Genesis recall 020G (NHTSA 24V-205) covers roughly 15,645 GV70 built May 10, 2023 to Feb 25, 2024.
Common Symptoms
Vehicle unexpectedly shifts from Park to Neutral
Vehicle rolls when parked without the parking brake set
Transmission warning messages
Intermittent shift-by-wire faults after rain or car washes
How to Fix
Check the VIN against NHTSA recall 24V-205 (Genesis 020G). Dealers inspect the transmission control harness and repair the connector or replace the harness and internal wiring as necessary, free of charge. Until repaired, always set the emergency/parking brake and turn the ignition off when parked.
On the 2022-2025 Genesis GV70, gasoline GV70 owners (2.5T and 3.5T) report a throttle-tip-in delay followed by an abrupt jolt, plus hard or jerky downshifts from the 8-speed automatic (Hyundai A8LR1/A8TR1), most noticeable accelerating out of a turn or in Sport mode. The community calls it 'Jerky Downshift Syndrome' (JDS); Genesis is aware and has been unable to deliver a permanent fix, performing an adaptive-transmission-value (ATV) reset that helps temporarily before the transmission relearns the behavior. The hesitation prompts drivers to press harder, causing lurching. This is a transmission/throttle calibration problem distinct from the low-pressure fuel-pump stalling issue.
Common Symptoms
Delay between pressing the accelerator and the car responding
Car jolts or lurches forward after the delay
Hard or jerky downshifts, especially in Sport mode
Hesitation/lag when accelerating out of a turn
Drivetrain feels rough or 'cheap' at low speed
How to Fix
A 2023 technical bulletin covers replacing the transmission solenoids, resetting adaptive transmission values, running the oil-pressure characteristics input procedure, and TCM adaptive-value relearn. A powertrain/TCU software reflash to smooth shift and throttle mapping is done under warranty. In hardware cases, dealers have replaced the throttle body (and, for some, fuel injectors), which resolved the hesitation; a minority of intermittent cases traced to coolant leaks putting the car in limp mode were fixed by hose/radiator repair.
On the 2022-2026 Genesis GV70, fuel can leak at the pipe connection between the high-pressure fuel pipe and the fuel rail. A fuel leak in the engine bay near hot components raises the risk of an underhood fire. Genesis issued safety recall 033G (NHTSA 26V-229) in April 2026 covering roughly 26,000 GV70 from the 2022-2026 model years (part of a larger ~235,000-vehicle Kia/Genesis action). Owners may notice a fuel smell or fuel odor around the engine bay.
Fuel smell or raw gasoline odor around the engine bay
Visible fuel residue or wetness near the fuel rail
Fuel smell after refueling or under load
How to Fix
Check the VIN against NHTSA recall 26V-229 (Genesis 033G). Dealers will inspect and tighten the fuel pipe connection, or replace the fuel pipe as necessary, free of charge. Owner letters began mailing June 8, 2026. If you smell raw fuel, stop driving and have it inspected immediately rather than waiting for the recall appointment.
On the 2022-2025 Genesis GV70, aWD GV70s (both 2.5T and 3.5T) develop a whining, humming, or droning noise from the rear axle, often at highway speed and frequently before the break-in period is even over. The condition is tied to the rear differential carrier and, on Sport/3.5T trims, the electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD). Genesis acknowledged it with TSB 23-DS-004G / 23-DS-004G-1, which walks dealers through noise inspection, lock-nut re-torque, re-inspection, and full carrier replacement. The biggest owner frustration is repeat failure: dealers swap in the same-design carrier and the replacement units whine again within thousands of miles, with one 3.5T owner reporting a second failure at ~3,700 miles after a new carrier and another reporting two eLSD replacements under 8,000 miles.
Common Symptoms
Whining or humming from the rear of the vehicle
Droning noise that rises with road speed
Noise present from very low mileage
Recurrence of noise shortly after a differential replacement
Occasional rear-axle vibration
How to Fix
Have the dealer perform TSB 23-DS-004G/-1: inspect and re-torque the differential carrier lock nut, road-test, and if noise persists replace the rear differential carrier assembly (and the eLSD-equipped carrier on Sport/3.5T) under the 5yr/60k powertrain warranty, followed by a rear-axle alignment. Because the same-design part can fail again, document each occurrence in writing for lemon-law leverage and ask whether an updated revision carrier is available before authorizing a like-for-like swap.
On the 2022-2024 Genesis GV70, the GV70's ventilated seats use small blower fans mounted in the seat cushion and backrest, driven by a dedicated Temperature Controlled Seat (TCS) control module that takes its commands from the climate screen. Owners report the ventilation indicator lights up and the on-screen fan level changes normally, but no air moves through the perforated leather - or airflow becomes weak on one side only, or the seat emits a whirring, grinding or clicking noise. The two documented failure points are the blower motor itself (bearing wear or debris ingestion, often preceded by the noise) and the TCS control module, which can fail electrically and kill ventilation on a seat while the heating function still works. This is not covered by any recall or bulletin, so diagnosis is entirely a warranty or paid repair path. It is worth distinguishing from the heated function: heat coming on while ventilation stays dead points at the blower/module rather than at the seat wiring harness.
Common Symptoms
Ventilation indicator lights but no air comes through the seat
Airflow works on one seat and not the other, or weak on one side
Whirring, grinding or clicking noise from inside the seat
Seat heating still works while ventilation is dead
How to Fix
Inspect the cushion connector after any seat removal and test the individual blower motors separately from the TCS module. Position, seat option and failure branch must be known before a part can be selected.
On the 2022-2025 Genesis GV70, gV70 owners report a rattle, click, or buzzing noise from the panoramic sunroof / headliner area, typically near the rear-view mirror, that appears when the body flexes over bumps or uneven pavement. Some also hear a gurgling sound at the sunroof edges above ~50 mph after heavy rain (trapped water moving in the roof). The noise is a common refinement complaint on an otherwise premium-feeling cabin. Genesis addressed it with TSB 23-BD-014G, which adds a felt kit and modified sunroof-frame bolts to eliminate movement.
Common Symptoms
Rattle or click from the sunroof/headliner near the rear-view mirror
Buzzing over bumps and uneven roads
Wind or gurgling noise at the sunroof edges at speed
Creaking from the front of the headliner
How to Fix
Have the dealer apply TSB 23-BD-014G: install the felt anti-rattle kit and the modified sunroof-frame bolts, and add foam/rubber padding behind the headliner where it contacts the sunroof frame. The repair typically requires removing the headliner and sunroof assembly and is covered under the new-vehicle warranty.
On the 2022-2024 Genesis GV70, on GV70 trims equipped with the Ergo Motion driver's seat (the powered lumbar/bolster system that makes small posture adjustments on long drives and drives the massage function), owners report the feature quitting outright, often accompanied by an in-cluster message reading 'Ergo Motion Seat has stopped.' Multiple owners report the failure at very low mileage - one within about 300 miles of delivery. The system's air bladders and their pump are packaged inside the seat cushion, and a documented contributor is seat-cushion position: with the front cushion extension switch driven to certain travel limits, the Ergo Motion routine faults out and disables itself, and owners have restored function simply by adjusting the cushion tilt/extension. Where that does not restore it, the failure is in the seat air pump/valve block or its control module.
Common Symptoms
'Ergo Motion Seat has stopped' message in the instrument cluster
Massage / posture function unavailable or greyed out on the seat menu
Feature stops working at very low mileage, sometimes within the first few hundred miles
Function returns temporarily after adjusting the seat cushion extension
How to Fix
Cycle the cushion extension/tilt control and ignition as documented. If the message returns, separate the air-pump/valve and control-module branches under warranty before parts ordering; seat disassembly and option coding are required.
On the 2022-2025 Genesis GV70, on HUD-equipped GV70s, the angled plastic surround of the head-up display projector housing catches low sun and throws a bright, distracting hot spot onto the windshield roughly a third of the way up, directly in the driver's line of sight. Owners consistently describe it as worst when the sun is off-axis rather than straight ahead - the classic case being driving with the sun low and behind or to the side, such as an eastbound highway run late in the day. The reflection comes from the housing bezel, not from the HUD combiner glass, so it appears whether or not the HUD is switched on. Genesis has treated it as a normal optical characteristic rather than a defect, and no bulletin or remedy has been issued; owners on both major GV70 forums report the same dismissal at the retailer. It is a glare/visibility complaint rather than a component failure, but it is persistent enough across the model line to be worth disclosing to a buyer who drives into low sun regularly.
Common Symptoms
Bright reflected spot on the windshield in front of the driver in low sun
Glare present whether or not the HUD is turned on
Worst when the sun is off to the side or behind rather than directly ahead
Reflection traced to the sloped plastic surround of the HUD housing
How to Fix
Use a custom-cut, removable matte-black insert only on the sloped housing after verifying it cannot shift into the HUD optics. Do not apply adhesive to the painted bezel, combiner glass or windshield projection path; no vehicle-specific retail kit was verified.
On the 2022-2025 Genesis GV70, gV70s with the panoramic sunroof can leak water into the cabin during heavy rain because the sunroof drainage tubes clog or the original drain plug design lets water back up. Owners report damp headliner, water on the seats or floor, and in some cases a sloshing sound in the roof. Genesis released a TSB with a revised drain-plug design, and dealers have cleared/replaced drains under warranty.
Common Symptoms
Water dripping into the cabin during heavy rain
Damp headliner, seats, or floor
Sloshing/gurgling water sound in the roof
Musty odor from interior
Wet A-pillar or footwell
How to Fix
Have the dealer clear the front and rear sunroof drain tubes and install the revised drain-plug design per the applicable TSB. If interior trim or the headliner is wet, ask the dealer to inspect for mold and dry/replace affected material. Owners in heavy-rain regions can periodically check that the drain channels are clear.
On the 2022-2026 Genesis GV70, the GV70 power tailgate fails intermittently in a recognizable pattern: the gate beeps but does not move, opens partway and reverses, needs several button presses before it responds, or goes completely dead from every input (key fob, cabin switch and the exterior button under the wiper housing). Separately, many owners find the hands-free/proximity open stops working while the physical buttons still function. Two distinct root causes are documented. The first is a Power Tailgate (PTG) control module software fault, addressed by service bulletin 25-BE-023G with a module software update and sensor recalibration - no parts needed. The second is mechanical: the tailgate latch has been found leaving the factory with essentially no lubrication, so the pawl binds and the gate refuses to latch or release. Because the symptoms overlap, owners frequently get an expensive latch or strut quoted when a software update would have fixed it.
Common Symptoms
Liftgate beeps but does not open
Gate opens partway then reverses and closes
Multiple presses of the button required before the gate responds
Tailgate completely unresponsive from fob, cabin switch and exterior button
Hands-free proximity opening stops working while buttons still work
Gate will not latch fully closed
How to Fix
Apply TSB 25-BE-023G and recalibrate the liftgate first, then inspect, clean and lubricate a dry latch. Only after both steps should a VIN-specific latch, spindle or motor be diagnosed and ordered.
On the 2022-2026 Genesis GV70, gV70 owners, most prominently on Uyuni White, report that painted plastic components (lower bumper mouldings, wheel-well trim, and fuel-filler door) are visibly one to two shades lighter than the adjacent metal body panels, sometimes from the factory at very low mileage; some describe an almost bluish hue on the mouldings. GV70e/Electrified owners report the same mismatch on wheel-well mouldings. Dealers frequently attribute it to plastic and metal accepting paint differently, and warranty repaint claims are often denied on that basis. This is an exterior/body finish issue.
Common Symptoms
Front/rear bumper a lighter shade than the body panels
When Genesis accepts the claim, the dealer body shop repaints or color-blends the mismatched panel to body color under the paint/finish warranty (some owners have had rear bumpers replaced). Many owners are told the difference is 'inherent' to the metal/plastic materials and are denied, in which case an independent body-shop repaint of the affected bumper or trim panel is the out-of-pocket remedy.
On the 2022-2026 Genesis GV70, the GV70's windshield is a multi-layer acoustic laminate - outer glass, an inner resin/PVB interlayer and an inner glass layer - chosen for cabin quietness and to carry the forward ADAS camera and rain sensor. Owners across model years report that this glass chips and then cracks from stone strikes that would have left an ordinary windshield untouched, sometimes within the first few hundred miles of ownership, and that a small chip propagates into a full-width crack unusually quickly. This is not a safety recall item and Genesis treats the glass as a wear/impact item rather than a defect, so owners bear the cost. The financial exposure is what makes it a real ownership issue: because the windshield carries the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist camera, replacement is not just glass - the ADAS camera must be recalibrated afterward or FCA, Lane Following Assist and Smart Cruise Control will misbehave or throw faults.
Common Symptoms
Rock chip appears on a nearly new vehicle from ordinary highway driving
Small chip spreads into a long crack within days or weeks
Crack often starts low on the glass and runs across the driver's view
Forward camera / FCA and Lane Following Assist warnings after a glass replacement done without recalibration
How to Fix
Have a fresh chip assessed immediately. Resin repair is only for a clean, small, repairable chip; damage in the driver's critical viewing area, edge cracks, long cracks or multi-layer damage needs professional replacement with acoustic glass and ADAS calibration.

On the 2022-2026 Genesis GV70, a frequently cited exterior/lighting complaint on the GV70 is moisture and condensation forming inside the LED headlight housings, ranging from light fogging after a car wash to visible water pooling at the bottom of the assembly. Owners report the condensation blurs the LED beam pattern, reduces nighttime illumination, and raises the risk of premature LED failure from repeated water-vapor exposure. Some owners have had assemblies replaced under warranty for recurring condensation. This is a sealing/venting issue distinct from any electrical charging or cluster fault.
Common Symptoms
Fog or condensation inside the headlight lens
Water pooling at the bottom of the headlamp housing
Blurred or dimmed LED beam / reduced night illumination
Condensation recurring after previous replacement
Water droplets/streaks that do not clear after running lights
How to Fix
Genesis addresses it via Technical Service Bulletin (TSB 22-BD-002G, also issued as 23-BD-002G / NHTSA 10230903) rather than a recall. Technicians run the headlights (high beam) for a minimum of 30 minutes; a small clearing mist is deemed normal, but persistent water droplets, streaks, or pooling indicate a failed seal and the assembly is replaced under the new-vehicle warranty. Out of warranty, a full LED assembly replacement is expensive.
On the 2022-2025 Genesis GV70, owners report the air conditioning not blowing cold, or cooling unevenly (commonly warm air from the driver-side vents while the passenger side is cold) on the dual-zone climate system. Reported causes include a refrigerant leak/undercharge, an electrical climate-control fault, and AC compressor problems; a dealer in one forum case attributed weak cooling to the compressor after seeing it on related Genesis models (GV80). It is a high-search comfort complaint, especially in hot climates.
Common Symptoms
A/C not blowing cold
Driver-side vents warm while passenger side is cold (or vice versa)
Cooling fades after the system runs a while
Hissing or no cold air after a refrigerant leak
Climate system blowing ambient-temperature air
How to Fix
Have the dealer leak-test and verify refrigerant charge first, then check the climate-control actuators/blend doors and compressor operation. Fixes range from recharging and sealing a leak to replacing a blend-door actuator or, in confirmed cases, the AC compressor. Repairs in the warranty window should be covered; out of warranty, expect compressor replacement to be the costliest path.
On the 2022-2026 Genesis GV70, gasoline and Electrified GV70 owners report the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA/AEB) and its front radar/camera triggering false Forward Collision Warnings and applying the brakes when no real hazard is present. Commonly reported scenarios documented in owner forums: unexpected brake application at 70-80 mph when changing lanes to reach an off-ramp, braking during overtaking as the vehicle merges back into its lane (which can look like brake-checking the passed car), and false triggers on curves where the radar reads a slower vehicle in an adjacent lane as being in the driver's lane. This is an ADAS/sensor-calibration fault, distinct from the fuel-pump stall and ICCU loss-of-power issues.
Common Symptoms
Vehicle brakes hard for no visible obstacle
False Forward Collision Warning alerts on open highway
Unexpected braking during lane changes or while overtaking
Radar reads adjacent-lane vehicle as in-lane on curves
Alarm and dashboard warning accompanying the phantom braking event
How to Fix
Dealers inspect and recalibrate or clean the front radar and windshield camera; a control-module software update is applied where available. When recalibration does not fully resolve it, owners reduce FCA warning sensitivity to 'late' or disable FCA in heavy traffic as a workaround. Most calibration/software work is covered under the new-vehicle warranty.
On the 2022-2026 Genesis GV70, the GV70 front brakes produce excessive brake dust and a high-pitched squeal during light braking, especially in the morning or after the vehicle has been sitting. The aggressive brake pad compound prioritizes stopping power over noise and cleanliness.
Common Symptoms
High-pitched squeal during light braking
Excessive black brake dust on front wheels
Grinding noise after car sits overnight
How to Fix
Replace the front brake pads with a low-dust ceramic compound. Clean and lubricate the brake caliper slide pins and pad contact points. Apply brake pad shim adhesive if shims are loose or missing.
On the 2022-2024 Genesis GV70, gV70 owners report a creaking, squeaking or rubbing noise from inside the steering column, felt and heard through the wheel during low-speed parking maneuvers and at moderate steering inputs. It is often mistaken for a dash rattle or a suspension noise, but the source is the universal joint in the intermediate steering shaft, which leaves the factory with insufficient grease. Genesis addressed the condition with service bulletin 23-ST-004G-1, 'Steering Universal Joint Noise Inspection and Grease Application,' which directs technicians to inspect the U-joint and apply grease rather than replace parts. Owners report the noise typically appears in the first year or two of ownership and is worse in cold weather. Where regreasing does not resolve it, dealers have escalated to full steering column replacement under warranty, so a noise that returns after a grease service should not be accepted as normal.
Common Symptoms
Creak, squeak or rubbing noise from the steering column when turning the wheel
Noise heard during low-speed parking maneuvers and worse in cold weather
Sound appears to come from behind the dash rather than the front wheels
Noise returns some months after a dealer grease service
How to Fix
Use TSB 23-ST-004G-1 to inspect and apply the specified grease to the intermediate-shaft joint. A persistent recurrence escalates to a VIN-specific column assembly under warranty; generic lubricant is not approved without the bulletin specification.
