Hyundai Motor America has identified a software issue affecting a limited number of 2024 and 2025 model year GV60 and GV80 sport utility vehicles. Due to incorrect software logic in the rearview camera, the rearview camera display may switch to a different screen.
This unwanted switch only occurs when reverse is engaged before the infotainment unit has fully initialized and the vehicle is backed up at speeds above 6 mph (10 kilometers per hour). Considering that few scenarios require more than 6 mph in reverse, it is easy to imagine that only a handful of dealers and owners have encountered this issue.
South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Company began addressing the issue on June 12, 2024. U.S.-based Hyundai Motor America received video evidence of the condition the following month. The video showed a GV80 in a processing center switching to a different screen while in reverse at speeds greater than 6 mph.
Subsequent review of production data for potentially affected vehicles resulted in a combined total of 1,488 vehicles for the U.S. market, consisting of 477 units of the 2025 Genesis GV80 and 1,011 units of the 2024 to 2025 Genesis GV60. Both models are produced at Hyundai’s flagship assembly plant in South Korea.
Given the above, it should come as no surprise that the touchscreen infotainment system comes from South Korea-based LG Electronics. To date, Hyundai Motor America is not aware of any accidents, injuries or worse related to the issue described above.

Documents published by the National Workers Association (NHTSA) reveal March 11, 2024 to June 11, 2024 and July 22, 2023 to June 26, 2024 as the production dates for the recalled GV80 and GV60 sport utility vehicles. Dealers will be notified electronically no later than October 5, which is also the day owner notification letters are due.
Of course, dealers will address the recall via a software update that includes improved rearview camera logic. The revised software was introduced in production GV80 and GV60 models on June 12 and July 2, respectively. In the meantime, owners can easily determine whether their vehicles have been recalled by entering the 17-character VIN on the NHTSA website or the Genesis website.
The GV80 is a midsize luxury sport utility vehicle built on a rear-cantilever platform. Refreshed in September 2023 for the 2024 model year, the largest Off-road in the range starts at $57,700 with a four-cylinder or $73,800 for the six-cylinder. Naturally, both engines are turbocharged. There is no rear-wheel drive version to speak of, which translates to 21 miles per gallon (11.2 liters per 100 kilometers) and 19 miles per gallon (12.4 liters per 100 kilometers) on the combined test cycle.
Available later this year, the 2025 Genesis GV60 is rear-wheel drive by default and all-wheel drive by choice. EPA estimates for 2025 were not available at the time of reporting, but we know that the most you can squeeze out of the rear-wheel-drive GV60 is 294 miles (473 kilometers). The best available estimate applies to the most affordable variant of the lot, the $52,350 Standard RWD.
