2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Service and Repair Manual
Hyundai sold the 2012 Genesis Coupe in two very different mechanical states — a turbocharged four-cylinder and a naturally aspirated V6, spread across nine trims — and this factory service and repair manual is keyed to the exact year, engine and trim sitting in your driveway, so the specifications and sequences it quotes are the ones Hyundai published for this car rather than near-enough figures carried over from another model year.

Known issues on the 2012 Genesis Coupe. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first sits in the hydraulic brake system, on the antilock and traction control side: an engine compartment fire while parked or driving can increase the risk of injury, and the campaign sweeps in 2011-2015 Genesis Coupes alongside a long list of other Hyundai models. The second covers the occupant classification sensor for the passenger air bag on 2010-2016 Genesis Coupes built from December 12, 2008 to June 11, 2016, and centers on the electrical harness connector; NHTSA frames the risk as arising in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag. Owners have filed 14 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 96 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are in this manual.
From an electrical inspection of the brake and traction control unit to checking the passenger-side air bag wiring or chasing a boost fault on the 2.0T, it keeps you on Hyundai's own procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2012 Genesis Coupe.
