Genesis GV60 Recall: Almost Every EV Sold Since 2023 Affected

Hyundai Motor America is recalling 7,855 Genesis GV60 electric SUVs from the 2023 through 2025 model years after discovering that the stainless-steel molding at the top of the windshield can come loose. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) warns that the defect could send loose trim into traffic, creating a hazard for other drivers. The move follows last week’s announcement that Hyundai had to recall more than half a million Palisade SUVs.

Details of the Genesis GV60 Recall

Usually, EV recalls involve electrical gremlins or powertrain hiccups. This time, the cause is simpler. NHTSA filings show the supplier used poor laminating temperature control and insufficient caulking during production, leaving the molding with weak adhesion. Owners may hear wind noise, whistling, or knocking sounds near the windshield before detachment occurs. Although the windshield itself remains intact, a loose piece of stainless steel at highway speeds could be dangerous. Hyundai has tracked 112 cases of detachment in the U.S. from October 2022 through August 2025, though the company believes only about 1% of affected vehicles actually have the defect. No crashes or injuries have been reported.

Scope of the Recall and Brand Impact

This action affects nearly every GV60 sold in the U.S. since the model’s launch. According to Good Car Bad Car, Hyundai sold 3,400 GV60s in 2023, 2,866 in 2024, and another 1,441 in the first eight months of 2025. The supplier behind the faulty molding is Keumgang Chemical. Alongside a few gas-powered models, GV60 is one of just two fully electric Genesis models sold in the States, alongside the Electrified GV70, after pulling the plug on the G80 Electrified earlier this year. With 8% growth year-over-year, there’s no doubt Genesis is slowly gaining market share among the luxury segment, but back-to-back recalls like this add unwanted pressure on the Korean carmaker.

What Owners Should Do

Genesis dealers will replace the windshield molding at no cost and reimburse owners who already paid for related repairs. Notification letters will begin November 17, 2025, and affected VINs have been searchable on NHTSA.gov since September 20. While the defect may seem minor, Hyundai is urging GV60 drivers not to delay repairs. Small pieces detaching from a vehicle can lead to big safety risks for everyone on the road.
