Recall in 2020 for a Oil Supply Pipe that is leaking and could cause a fire. It was completed in 2020. The same issue just occurred on 12/22/2023 where it stared leaking again and I took it to Genesis. They are saying I need to pay out of pocket but it is the same issue as the recall which is a fire hazard. They have had my car for 2 weeks. Opened a case with Genesis but they will not cover it. I have texts from the Gensis Mechanic saying it is the same issue. There were no warning signs except for the smoke when is was already leaking.

The contact owns a 2018 Genesis G80. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, there was white smoke coming from underneath the vehicle.

The failure mileage was 45,000.
The oil pressure light comes on intermittently - often at low RPMs and then goes away at higher RPMs. It is a very expensive repair and appears to be just due to a faulty oil pressure sensor. The light causes issues because it covers up whether there is another more serious problem that needs attention.
The contact owns a 2018 Genesis G80. The contact stated the vehicle was making a knocking sound from underneath the hood of the vehicle near the engine.

Went to the dealer to report a smell coming out of the engine as well as a squeaking noise when the accelerator is pressed either stationary or in motion. The dealer representative told me that there is a recall on the car but they don't have a remedy yet. I read about the recall. On my question 'what is going to happen if the engine catches fire?' the representative told me that they haven't seen any cars of this model to catch fire yet. I wonder what needs to happen so the manufacturer is more proactive addressing an already issued recall when a severe accident like engine fire could happen? Shouldn't the federal safety agency force hyundai in this instance to immediately repair the affected vehicles? Do we need injuries and death in order to take charge?
