What this recall means for you
On certain manual-transmission Genesis Coupes, the rear differential may not have been properly aligned with the rear suspension crossmember during assembly. Over time, the bolts that hold the differential in place can loosen.
If the differential comes loose from its mounting, the driveshaft can disconnect from it. That can cause a sudden loss of propulsion and raises the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and authorized dealers will verify the proper assembly of the differential at no cost to you. To check whether your vehicle is included, look up your VIN for open recalls, or contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-671-3059 and reference recall number 135.
