This is the first report of a Genesis GV80 crash. And this is also the first recall for the Genesis GV80. It's not clear whether the crash was caused by any issue related to the recall.
South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced a recall of 823 GV80 related to a software problem with the Idle Stop & Go system.
The ministry didn’t go into too many specifics, but said the “corrective action” is a result of shifts that are “not normal” due to a software issue. Motorgraph says that in certain circumstances, the crossover will go in reverse while drive is selected.
To fix the issue, owners will need to take their vehicle to a service center so technicians can perform a software update to correct the problem free of charge.
Maybe this GV80 somehow went into reverse and hit the other car?

I was wondering if anyone knows if the 20" wheels are the same design as the 22" wheels. It appears that most of the posted pictures of the vehicle show the 22 inchers. If I purchase, I would only want the 20 inchers, mostly due to the fact tat they would likely provide a much better ride.
