2023-2025 Genesis GV60 Front Camera: ADAS Faults, Calibration, and Replacement Guide

Part Number and System Identification

The Genesis GV60 uses several different cameras and sensors that are often confused with one another. The primary front-facing camera for driver assistance systems is mounted on the windshield. Other sensors, like the front radar for adaptive cruise control and modules for the digital key, are located elsewhere. It is critical to identify the correct part before purchasing.

Symptoms of Failure

A failing or misaligned front camera will primarily affect the ADAS features. You will likely see warning messages on the instrument cluster and notice that driver assistance systems are unavailable or behave erratically.

• "Check Lane Assist System" Warning: This is a common message when the system detects a fault with the camera or its related components.
• ADAS Features Disabled: Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance, and Smart Cruise Control may become partially or fully inoperable.
• Vehicle Pulls Toward Exits: A well-documented issue is the car's steering assist aggressively pulling towards off-ramps on the highway. This is a direct symptom of a misaligned camera that has a 'yaw angle offset,' causing it to lock onto the high-contrast line of an exit ramp instead of the actual lane markings.
• Phantom Emergency Braking: 🎬 See a long-term owner's report on these safety system glitches. In rare cases, a faulty camera or system could incorrectly detect an obstacle, causing the vehicle to brake suddenly without reason. One owner reported this issue, which Genesis corporate allegedly advised to resolve by turning off the safety systems.
• Complete Camera System Failure: Some owners have experienced a total failure where all cameras (including surround view) and even infotainment audio stop working. This may point to a failure of the camera's Electronic Control Unit (ECU).

Known Issues, Recalls, and Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs)

While there are no recalls specifically for the front ADAS camera failing, several related recalls and known issues exist for the 2023-2025 GV60.

Known Issue: Steering Pull from Misaligned Camera

The most significant known issue is the tendency for Highway Driving Assist to steer the vehicle towards exit ramps. This is not a software bug in the traditional sense, but a physical misalignment of the front camera. The only permanent fix is a specific dealer procedure called a "Forward Camera EOL (End of Line) Calibration 🎬 Watch: How a camera calibration fixes the highway exit pull." to reset the camera's angle. The in-car user calibration feature is not sufficient to correct this physical offset.

Recalls

• NHTSA Recall 25V474: A software error may cause the main instrument panel display to go blank, preventing the driver from seeing the speedometer or warning lights. The fix is a software update.
• NHTSA Recall 24V-584: The rearview camera display may shut off if the vehicle is reversed at over 6 mph before the infotainment system has fully initialized. This requires a dealer-installed software update to fix.
• NHTSA Recall 25V624: The stainless-steel upper windshield molding can detach while driving, creating a road hazard. If this part is repaired or the windshield is replaced, the front camera must be recalibrated.

Buying a Used Video Camera

Purchasing a used OEM front camera can be a cost-effective solution, but careful verification is essential.

• Verify the Part Number: The most critical step. You must match the part number exactly to your vehicle's year and trim level (Advanced vs. Performance). Use the table above as a guide. A camera from a different trim may not be compatible.
• Inspect for Physical Damage: Check the lens for any scratches, chips, or hazing. Inspect the housing and electrical connector for cracks or damage. Do not purchase a camera that shows any signs of impact damage.
• Budget for Calibration: A used camera is not a plug-and-play part. You MUST have it professionally calibrated after installation. Factor this significant cost into your budget. The vehicle will not be safe to drive with an uncalibrated camera, as the ADAS features will be unreliable.
• Why Used OEM is a Good Choice: For a complex electronic component like this, a used original equipment part is often superior to a new aftermarket one. OEM parts are designed for seamless integration with the vehicle's software, which is critical for safety systems. Aftermarket cameras may have compatibility or performance issues.

Replacement and Mandatory Calibration

Installation Difficulty: 4/5 (Difficulty is due to the required calibration, not the physical labor)

The camera is typically located in a housing attached to the windshield, behind the rearview mirror. Replacement involves carefully removing the plastic trim covers, disconnecting the electrical harness, and unmounting the camera. The new or used unit is then installed in the reverse order. However, the job is not complete until the calibration is performed.

ADAS Calibration: Calibration aims the camera and tells the vehicle's computer its precise position and viewing angle relative to the car's centerline. Without this, the system's measurements will be inaccurate, leading to dangerous behavior like steering into another lane or failing to detect an obstacle. Calibration is required any time the camera is replaced, or the windshield is replaced.
