Hyundai published one set of specifications for the 2015 Genesis, and this factory service and repair manual is that set — matched to this exact year, engine and trim, so every torque value and service sequence you follow is the one written for your sedan rather than an approximation borrowed from another model year.
Engines covered
- 5.0L V8 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
- 3.8L V6 (231 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Known issues on the 2015 Genesis. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the Hankook Ventus S1 noble2 tires, whose sidewalls can crack and rupture during use, causing rapid air loss. Another covers the starter solenoid: water can enter the solenoid, and the consequence is an engine compartment fire that can occur while parked or driving. A third involves the ABS module, which can malfunction and short circuit internally, again risking an engine compartment fire. The fourth covers the parking brake indicator light, which may not illuminate when the parking brake is applied. The fifth concerns the seven-inch TFT-LCD instrument cluster, which can display the vehicle speed or illuminate the warning lights incorrectly. Owners have filed 408 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 89 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From tracing a starter-circuit or ABS electrical fault to a parking brake check, a tire inspection or a routine service interval, it keeps you on Hyundai's own procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2015 Genesis.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON 50 MPH ON LA PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY AND SLOWED DOWN TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT.

I was driving in the road about 50mph and with the wet road. I lost the car control without any reason, even with the low speed. Looks like the break or the ABS system wasn’t working and I got hydroplaning and an accident.
ELECTRONIC GREMLINS PERIODICALLY HIT. -AT RANDOM TIMES THE FRONT OR REAR SENSORS DON'T "SEE" OBJECTS. I HAVE KISSED BUMPERS WITH ANOTHER CAR WHEN NEITHER OF US SAW THE OTHER, AND MY GENESIS FAILED TO SEE. IT'S ALLOWED ME ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS TO PULL TOO CLOSE TO OBJECTS IN FRONT. -WORSE, THERE ARE RANDOM EPISODES WHERE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FAILS TO SEE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF IT. NUMEROUS TIMES WE HAVE NARROWLY MISSED COLLISIONS WHEN WE HAD TO QUICKLY AND FORCEFULLY APPLY BRAKES. I'VE

ON THREE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST WEEK I LOST ALL ABILITY TO BRAKE. THE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE VEHICLE IS TO ENGAGE THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE. ON TWO OF THOSE OCCASIONS THE CAR ONLY STOPPED WHEN HITTING A SNOW/ICE BANK. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, A LOUD AIR PRESSURE RELEASE SOUND WOULD EMIT. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO NOTHING WAS REPLACED. NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND HOPE I DON'T CRASH INTO SOMETHING
This has been a recurring safety issue problem! The front turn signals repeatedly have indicated on etiher side that the bulb is burned out and hence do not light up nor flash when this occurs. Some folks chalk this up to it is normal for bulbs to burn out so I have been replacing them when this happens. But, a new bulb doesnt always work! It gets to be a game of try this bulb and then that bulb and then sometimes nothing works and I plug the turn signal harness back in and maybe a few days l

My car spontaneously caught fire while in a parking lot. I had left it for approximately 45 minutes. When I returned and opened the trunk, smoke began pouring out. Frightened, I called 911. The fire department came. When they opened the driver door, much more smoke poured out. My car continued to smoke I believe for a long time. I was ill for several days with headache and asthma as I am a senior and have scarred lungs. A mechanic later determined that the passenger car motor had burst into fire
