Electrical system

9 reports
“I own a 2022 Genesis G70. The driver’s-side front headlamp assembly has developed significant and persistent moisture/condensation inside both sections of the lamp. The condensation does not clear during normal driving or after the lights have been operated for more than 30 minutes. The problem has now progressed from moisture inside the assembly to an electrical lighting failure. The driver’s-side front turn signal is no longer functioning, the vehicle displays a “Check turn signal” warning and master warning indicator, and the turn signal hyperflashes when activated.”
