2017 Genesis G90

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 G90.

Body PASSENGER CAR

Classified as a passenger car, the 2017 Genesis G90 debuted with 24 total owner complaints and 3 recalls, immediately framing its early production record. The primary issue area falls under the vague designation of "Unknown or Other," offering researchers little specificity regarding the actual mechanical or structural failures at play. Within the model's 2017-2026 reliability history, this launch year registers as the highest for reported problems—far exceeding the low of just 2 complaints in 2020—meaning the 2017 model represents the peak of the vehicle's reliability concerns before subsequent model years saw clear improvement.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 6,000 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant every 30,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 30,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2017 Genesis G90, as the first model year of the generation, recorded the highest number of complaints (24) and TSBs (80) in the entire 2017–2026 dataset, with complaints dropping sharply to 16 in 2018 and to single digits by 2019. Recalls for 2017 (3) are moderate compared to the peak of 6 in 2023, but the elevated TSB count suggests that many early-production issues required documented dealer fixes. The complaint trend across the generation is a clear downward arc, indicating that problems were progressively addressed through updates and service actions. With three crash complaints and top complaint areas including engine, powertrain, and steering, the 2017 model carries more reported risk than any subsequent year. **This is not a strong year to buy used; later model years, especially 2019 onward, show far fewer complaints and TSBs, making them more reliable choices.**
