One Radio Setting Can Kill Your Genesis Dash Mid‑Drive

  • Nearly 84,000 Genesis vehicles have an instrument failure issue.
  • Affected screens may suddenly reboot or briefly stop working.
  • The update addressing the issue is expected by early March.

Genesis just issued a new recall covering nearly 84,000 vehicles, but there’s no need to worry about misbehaving driver aids, parking outside, or a luxury SUV that might roll away on its own. Instead, owners are being told to disable their high-definition radio.

No, not because it might advertise another car brand, but because it can shut off the entire screen altogether while the car is in motion.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Genesis is recalling a wide range of 2025 and 2026 model-year sedans and SUVs after discovering that their digital instrument clusters can intermittently reboot and go blank.

When that happens, drivers may lose access to critical information such as vehicle speed, warning alerts, and fuel or battery levels for up to 10 seconds at a time.

Which Models Are Affected?

The recall covers six different Genesis models, totaling 83,877 vehicles in the U.S. These include the 2025–2026 G80, the 2026 G80 Electrified, the 2026 GV60, the 2026 GV70 and GV70 Electrified, and the 2025–2026 GV80. While recalls from Hyundai Motor Group often span multiple brands, this issue appears to be limited strictly to Genesis products.

The heart of the issue involves a software logic error in the vehicle’s head unit and integrated display system. Both HD and analog radio data are being written to the same memory location due to overlapping software routines.

Under certain conditions, that overlap can trigger a data overwrite error, causing the system to reboot and temporarily cut the display output to both the instrument cluster and infotainment screen.

Hyundai says it has received 237 reports related to the issue between late September 2024 and early January 2026, but no crashes, injuries, or fatalities have been linked to the problem so far.

A permanent software fix is expected by mid-March. Owners will be able to visit a Genesis dealer for an update, or download it over the air if their vehicle supports OTA updates. In the meantime, Genesis recommends that affected drivers disable the HD radio feature while on the road. That’s right. Back to FM and AM folks, at least for now.

New Genesis GV90 Swings Open Its Massive Rolls-Royce-Style Coach Doors

  • The Genesis GV90 has been spied with its coach doors open.
  • The crossover eschews a B-pillar, just like the Neolun concept.
  • An all-new platform could underpin the EV when it debuts.

The Genesis GV90 is taking an eternity to develop, but work continues on the coach door variant. However, the long gestation period is apparently wearing on employees as a couple of them decided to ignore a warning saying “Do not open doors!”

Thanks to their mistake, spy photographers were able to get a glimpse of the doors in action. As you’d expect, the doors open and close automatically to ensure entry and egress is effortless.

More notably, the luxury crossover eschews a B-pillar as there’s an uninterrupted side opening. While our view is partially blocked, this is an interesting development as even Rolls-Royces have a thick pillar separating the front and rear passenger compartments.

The feature was previewed on the Neolun concept and Genesis previously said B-pillarless coach doors provide “much more open interior space” while also maximizing “convenient passenger access.” At the time, they hinted development had reached a point where using the design on road-going models was “now feasible.”

That’s certainly the case and it appears Genesis will be moving the traditional B-pillar support to the doors. As part of the change, we can see pronounced locking mechanisms on the door sill and ceiling. The front section of the rear door also appears notably thicker than the rest of the panel.

Besides giving us a glimpse of the doors in action, the latest pictures reveal the crossover will have power front and rear seats with a bewildering number of adjustments. We can also see blue and purple leather as well as metallic accents and contrast piping.

Previous spy photos have shown an elegant second-row with captain’s chairs that are separated by a large center console. The latter appears to house a wireless smartphone charger as well as an integrated tablet.

Platform and Powertrain

The company hasn’t said much about the model lately, but the GV90 is expected to ride on the new eM platform. The architecture is expected to be an evolution of the existing E-GMP platform, but incorporate the latest advancements in electric vehicle technology.

Although full details remain unclear, the GV90 should be more advanced than the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9. The latter features a 110.3 kWh battery pack as well as a dual-motor all-wheel drive system producing up to 422 hp (315 kW / 429 PS) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. With that powertrain, the model has a range of 311 miles (501 km).
