What owners wrote
Intermittent low oil pressure light (at low RPM) TSB issued for Korean customers, not for US Customers.
Oil light comes on intermittently due to faulty sensor. Apparently this is a recurring issue for this model.
Verbatim from NHTSA complaint filings, with identifying details removed.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Genesis G80 was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
