On the 2023-2026 Genesis G90 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 (Smartstream), on G90s painted in Savile Silver, the aluminum-heavy paint formulation at the corners of the front bumper cover reflects the corner-radar signal back into the sensor. Highway Drive Assist (HDA) interprets the reflection as a vehicle cutting into the lane and applies sudden, unintended braking — reported at low speed (below ~12 mph) and when Lane Change Assist is active. Only Savile Silver cars are affected. Covered by NHTSA Recall 25V833 (483 U.S. vehicles).

Common Symptoms

  • Sudden unintended braking
  • Phantom emergency braking with no obstacle
  • False forward-collision alerts
  • Braking when Lane Change Assist engaged

How to Fix

Under recall 25V833 a certified Genesis technician seals the front bumper beam so the radar signal is not transmitted through the body panel to strike the paint. Free of charge. As an interim measure owners can disable HDA/forward-collision-assist braking if experiencing phantom braking, and confirm the bumper-beam remedy has been applied.

On the 2023-2026 Genesis G90, on second-generation G90s, the driver and front passenger seat belts attach to the seat frame through a snap-on anchor that can break, so the anchor does not securely fasten the belt to the structure. If the anchor separates in a crash the belt cannot restrain the occupant, which defeats the restraint entirely at the moment it matters. This is a different defect from the earlier pretensioner over-pressurization problem - nothing ruptures or fires here; the load path simply comes apart at the seat-frame end. Hyundai and Genesis covered roughly 294,000 vehicles across several nameplates in this action, with the 2023-2026 G90 among them, so late-model and even current cars are in scope and many are still in owners' hands unremedied.

Common Symptoms

  • Seat belt lower anchor feels loose or moves at the seat frame
  • Belt webbing sits abnormally or the buckle stalk shifts
  • Rattle or clunk from the base of the seat belt
  • No warning light - the defect is usually silent

How to Fix

Free recall remedy under NHTSA campaign 26V218000. Genesis retailers inspect the driver and front passenger seat belt anchors and reinforce or replace them as necessary at no charge; owner notification letters were mailed beginning May 29, 2026 and affected VINs became searchable on nhtsa.gov in April 2026. Enter the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm status - a used-car purchase completed before the notification date will not have been contacted. There is no safe interim workaround: an anchor that has already snapped cannot be detected by the occupant, so schedule the inspection rather than waiting for a symptom.
