Recall 24V107000 issued 2-13-2024 for compartment fire while parked or driving. I received such recall from Genesis within the past two weeks, now 5-13-2024, not promptly as it should have been since it is a high rise of danger to users and passengers. Today I called the Genesis Customer care, there remains no remedy, and the agent could not authorize a rental car. I could rent a car at my expense and submit a claim once the remedy is installed and I may be refunded that cost. Another agent should be contacting me in 3 to 5 days referring to case number 23267478. First, the notice was untimely. Second, no offer of sidelining the car and providing free of all charges, a rental car. Seems to me that our lives are at risk with no immediate help from Genesis. Thank You.

Hyundai Motor America and Genesis Motor America are recalling my 2017 Genesis G80 vehicle to address a risk with anti-lock break system (ABS) modules because it could malfunction internally and case an electrical short over time potentially resulting in engine compartment fire. I contacted the dealership and they claim that do not have the required part to resolve the issue. Also they do not have an estimated delivery date for the part. Please advise.
