Out-of-spec ZF Lifetec parts were identified as the cause, with owners urged to confirm a proper latch until free repairs are completed.

Overview

  • Recall covers 2020–2025 Palisades built between April 10, 2019 and mid-June 2025, affecting front and outboard second-row buckles while the third row is excluded.
  • Hyundai reports 546 seatbelt-latch complaints with no crashes or injuries and estimates about 1% of vehicles carry the defect.
  • Cold temperatures and slow insertion increase the chance of a non-latch; owners should listen for a lighter-than-normal click and pull the belt to verify security.
  • Owner notification letters are scheduled for November 10, with free dealer inspections and buckle replacements to follow under NHTSA recall 25V-607 (Hyundai 283).
  • Separate actions include 31,042 IONIQ 6 EVs for charging-port door panels that may detach (Hyundai 282) and eight 2025 IONIQ 5s for improperly tightened fasteners.
