The side curtain airbags that protect people in the third row may not inflate the way they should in a crash. These airbags are meant to help keep passengers from being thrown out of the vehicle through a side window, and testing showed these vehicles do not meet the federal rule for that protection. Hyundai will fix it by putting a protective film on the rear window and taking out padding where needed. The free repair is being rolled out in stages through the end of 2026.
The seat belt buckles for the driver, the front passenger, and the second-row window seats may fail to lock the belt in place. A belt that is not truly latched will not hold a person properly in a crash. Until the parts are replaced, Hyundai says to push the belt into the buckle firmly with one quick motion, then tug on the belt to be sure it is locked. Dealers will replace the buckles free; replacement letters begin June 2026.

A controller for the electric oil pump in your Palisade is not sealed well enough. Moisture can get inside and build up on the circuit board, causing an electrical short that can start a fire. Hyundai says this can happen while you are driving or while the vehicle is parked. Until it is fixed, park outside and away from buildings. A dealer will replace the oil pump controller free of charge. Owner letters were mailed June 11, 2025.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).

On certain 2024 Hyundai Palisades, small springs inside the engine that control the valves can break while you are driving. When one snaps, the engine can lose power with no warning at all. In the worst case, a broken piece can punch a hole clear through the side of the engine block, letting hot oil escape onto hot engine parts — and that can start a fire. Hyundai dealers replace the engine's internal assembly to fix it.

Some 2024 Palisades with the dark premium suede seats have a problem with the sensor system in the front passenger seat. That system is supposed to figure out whether someone is sitting there, and it can get it wrong, reading the seat as empty when a person is actually in it. When that happens, the car shuts off the front passenger airbag. In a crash, that airbag would stay closed instead of inflating. A dealer fixes it with a software update.

These cars have a system that shuts the engine off at stoplights to save fuel. The electronic controller for that system's oil pump may have damaged parts inside, and it can overheat. An overheating pump unit can start a fire in the car. Hyundai says park outside and away from buildings until the repair is done. Dealers check the oil pump controller and replace it if needed, at no charge to you.

Some 2023 Hyundai Palisades have a problem with the brake booster, the part that uses engine vacuum to make the brake pedal easy to press. A rubber diaphragm inside can shift out of position and leak, so the booster stops helping. When that happens the pedal feels hard and you must push much harder, and the vehicle needs a longer distance to stop. A dealer will inspect the booster and replace it if needed, free of charge.
Snow or ice piling up on the windshield can put too much strain on the wiper motor. When that happens, the wipers may work only now and then, or stop working completely. If your wipers quit during snow, sleet or rain, you may not be able to see the road ahead clearly. Dealers will replace the wiper arm on the driver's side at no charge, and letters went out to owners in May 2023.
This covers Palisades that came with tow hitch wiring from the factory, or had a kit added at a Hyundai dealer. Dirt and water can collect on the small circuit board inside that wiring, which lets the electricity short out. A short like that can start a fire, either while you are driving or while the vehicle is parked and shut off. The dealer installs a new fuse and a wire extension kit if needed, at no cost.

On certain 2020-2021 Hyundai Palisade vehicles, the motor that drives the windshield wipers can quit working. When that happens, the wipers stop moving. In rain, snow, or road spray, you would have no way to clear the windshield, and you could lose much of your view of the road. The fix is a new driver-side wiper arm, which the dealer installs for you.

Too much glue was used when the dashboard gauge cluster was built, and that extra adhesive can shut off the display screen behind the steering wheel. When it goes dark, you lose your speedometer, fuel and other gauges, and the warning lights that tell you something is wrong with the car. A dealer replaces the whole gauge cluster assembly at no charge to fix it.

The brake fluid in certain 2021 Hyundai Palisades may be contaminated. Bad fluid can make rubber seals inside the brake master cylinder — the part that pushes fluid to the brakes when you press the pedal — swell up. When that happens, the brakes do not work as well as they should, and the vehicle takes longer to stop. Dealers replace the master cylinder and flush out the old brake fluid at no cost.

The bolts that hold the side curtain airbags in place can damage the airbag as it inflates. These are the airbags that drop down along the side windows to protect people's heads in a side impact. If one is torn or damaged while deploying, it may not fill the way it should and may not protect you in a crash. Dealers will install a protective cover over the mounting bolts, free of charge, so the bolts cannot damage the airbag.
