Overview

• The recall covers certain 2020–2025 Palisades made in Korea, with driver, front passenger, and second-row window-seat buckles that may fail to latch.
• Hyundai traced the issue to improperly machined buckle guides from supplier ZF Lifetec, and dealers will perform the remedy at no cost.
• Until repaired, owners are advised to insert the tongue quickly, listen for a firm click, pull to confirm security, and watch for a recessed button or a lighter-than-normal click, especially in cold weather.
• Hyundai and NHTSA have received 546 Palisade buckle complaints with no reports of crashes or injuries.
• A separate recall involves 31,042 2023–2025 Ioniq 6 EVs for charging-port doors that may detach, with free inspections and replacements and six complaints reported without injuries.
