On the 2023-2026 Genesis GV60, the GV60's digital instrument cluster can come up completely blank at startup, hiding the speedometer, state-of-charge gauge and warning telltales. NHTSA recall 25V-474 (Genesis recall 027G, July 2025) covers 2023-2025 GV60 and G90 vehicles - 2,409 GV60s in the US population - and states the vehicles fail to comply with FMVSS 101, 'Controls and Displays'. The root cause is the cluster software start-up sequence producing signal distortion on the communication bus between the MCU and ROM in the LG Electronics-supplied cluster. A related follow-on campaign, 26V-019 (January 2026), covers 2025-2026 GV60 for a display that may intermittently reboot during operation and go temporarily blank, traced to a software logic issue involving HD Radio memory storage. Owners had reported blank clusters for one to eight minutes after startup before either campaign was filed.

Common Symptoms

  • Instrument cluster completely blank at startup
  • Speedometer and state-of-charge gauge not displayed
  • Cluster goes dark for one to eight minutes after power-on
  • Display intermittently reboots while driving
  • Warning telltales not visible

How to Fix

Free recall software update. Under 25V-474 the instrument panel display software is updated over the air or by a dealer at no cost; owner letters were mailed August 22, 2025. Under 26V-019 the same OTA-or-dealer software remedy applies to the later build. There is no hardware replacement in either campaign - if the cluster stays blank after the update the LG cluster assembly itself is the suspect and is a warranty item. Check the VIN on nhtsa.gov/recalls because the two campaigns cover different model year populations.

On the 2023-2026 Genesis GV60 Electric, the GV60 OTA (over-the-air) update process occasionally fails mid-installation, leaving the vehicle in a partially updated state. Failed updates can cause infotainment malfunctions, ADAS feature deactivation, or charging management errors.

This issue also affects: Kia Niro, Genesis GV70, Kia Soul

Common Symptoms

  • Update progress bar stuck
  • Infotainment not booting after update
  • ADAS features showing as unavailable
  • Charging schedule not functioning after update

How to Fix

Ensure the vehicle is plugged in with a strong cellular signal during OTA updates. If an update fails, visit the dealer for a complete software reflash. Do not interrupt the update process by starting the vehicle.

On the 2023-2026 Genesis GV60 Electric, the GV60 can experience excessive 12V auxiliary battery drain when parked for extended periods. Connected services modules, security systems, and over-the-air update checks continue drawing power, depleting the small 12V battery within 5-7 days of inactivity.

This issue also affects: Kia Niro, Genesis GV70, Kia Soul

Common Symptoms

  • Vehicle will not start after sitting several days
  • Key fob unable to unlock doors
  • Multiple warning messages after jump start
  • Connected services disconnecting

How to Fix

Keep the vehicle plugged in when parked for more than 3 days to allow the HV system to maintain the 12V battery. Update to the latest software that includes improved power management. A 12V battery maintainer can be used as a backup.

Typical repair cost:$0 - $400

On the 2023-2026 Genesis GV60 Electric, the GV60 range estimation algorithm shows significant variability, with actual range often falling 15-25% short of the displayed estimate in cold weather or at sustained highway speeds above 70 mph. The system does not adequately factor in ambient temperature and driving speed.

This issue also affects: Kia Niro, Genesis GV70, Kia Soul

Common Symptoms

  • Range dropping faster than expected
  • Cold weather range loss exceeding 25%
  • Highway range significantly less than city range

How to Fix

Precondition the battery and cabin while plugged in before departure. Use ECO mode and limit climate control usage in cold weather for maximum range. The BMS improves range predictions after learning driving patterns over several thousand miles.

On the 2023-2026 Genesis GV60, the GV60's signature keyless ownership feature - Face Connect at the B-pillar to unlock, plus a fingerprint reader on the center console to authorize start and switch driver profiles - loses reliability on the fingerprint half. Owners on the Genesis Owners Club report the console reader working well immediately after enrolment and then degrading over weeks or months: the sensor flashes orange and beeps rather than authorizing, and the car will not start without the fob. One owner described the success rate falling from near 100 percent to roughly 10 percent, recovering only after deleting and re-enrolling the print, and needing to repeat that roughly every two months. Notably the same owners report the B-pillar facial recognition being essentially 100 percent reliable, which points at the console fingerprint sensor and its stored template rather than the biometric entry system as a whole. This is a usability and stranding-risk issue rather than a safety defect - the fob and the Genesis app still work - and there is no recall.

Common Symptoms

  • Fingerprint reader flashes orange and beeps instead of authorizing
  • Vehicle will not start with fingerprint when no key fob is present
  • Recognition success rate falls off over weeks or months after enrolment
  • Driver profile and seat/mirror settings do not switch automatically on recognition
  • Repeated need to delete and re-enroll the fingerprint

How to Fix

No recall exists. The consistent owner-level fix is to delete the stored fingerprint in the vehicle settings and re-enroll it, capturing the finger at several angles and with a clean, dry finger; that restores recognition, though it may need repeating periodically. Make sure the driver profile the print is tied to is the one you want, since a failed match also blocks the automatic profile switch. If re-enrollment does not hold, have the dealer check for a software update for the biometric module and, failing that, replace the console fingerprint sensor unit under the new-vehicle warranty. Practical workaround: always carry the fob or have the Genesis Digital Key set up on your phone before relying on biometric-only entry.

Typical repair cost:$0 - $900
