16 recalls covering model years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Certain Hyundai Palisade and Palisade Hybrid vehicles with Limited or Calligraphy trim may have damaged wiring inside the third row seat belt buckle on the driver's side. This can make the dashboard continuously show that seat's belt as fastened. The display may then fail to alert occupants when that seat belt is unfastened. Dealers will add a wiring extension and replace the seat belt assembly if needed.
Certain Hyundai Palisade and Palisade Hybrid vehicles with Limited or Calligraphy trim have powered seats in the second and third rows that may fail to detect a person. A seat may keep moving after touching someone during powered functions, including tilting and sliding or folding and stowing. A person, especially a child, could become trapped by a rear powered seat.
On certain Tucson Hybrid, Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, and several other Hyundai models, a software error can cause the instrument panel display to fail. Because this display is required to function properly under the federal safety standard for vehicle controls and displays, a failure means the vehicle no longer meets that requirement.
Some Hyundai Palisade SUVs have side curtain airbags for the third-row seats that may not deploy correctly in a crash. These airbags are meant to help protect third-row passengers, but in some vehicles they may not work the way they're supposed to. Hyundai has already begun mailing letters to owners about this safety risk. Dealers will install a protective film over the rear window and remove certain padding where needed, at no cost to you.
Hyundai is recalling certain Palisade SUVs because seat belt buckles may fail to latch. The problem affects the buckles for the driver's seat, the front passenger seat and the two second-row window seats. Dealers will replace the buckle assemblies. The replacement parts are being released in stages, so owners are being notified about the problem first and will receive a second letter when the repair is available for their vehicle.
Some Hyundai Palisade vehicles have an electric oil pump controller with an insufficient seal. This can let moisture build up on the circuit board inside, which can cause an electrical short and result in a fire.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
Some Hyundai Palisade vehicles have engine valve springs that may break while the vehicle is being driven. A broken valve spring can cause the engine to lose power. It is also possible for a broken spring to create a hole in the engine block.
Hyundai is recalling certain Palisade vehicles that have dark premium suede seats. These vehicles have a system that senses whether someone is sitting in the front passenger seat, and this system may fail to correctly detect a passenger. When that happens, the system can turn off the front passenger air bag even though someone is sitting there, which does not meet federal air bag safety requirements.
Some Hyundai vehicles have an electronic controller for the engine stop-start oil pump that may contain damaged electrical components. This damage can cause the pump controller to overheat, which increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
On some 2023 Palisade vehicles, a part inside the brake booster can shift out of place and create an internal vacuum leak. This can reduce how much power assist you get when braking.
In certain Hyundai Palisade vehicles, snow or ice buildup on the windshield can cause the windshield wiper motor to run on and off or stop working altogether, so the wipers stop clearing the windshield.
On vehicles with a factory or dealer-installed tow hitch wiring harness, dirt and moisture can build up on the circuit board inside it. This buildup can cause an electrical short, which can lead to a fire while the vehicle is parked or being driven.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
On some Hyundai Palisade vehicles, the windshield wiper motor may stop working, causing the wipers to fail.
On certain 2022 Palisades, the instrument cluster may have been built with too much adhesive, which can disable the display screen. When that happens, the driver can't see the meters, gauges, and warning lights.
Some Palisade SUVs may have brake fluid that has become contaminated. This can cause seals inside the brake master cylinder to swell, and swollen seals reduce how well the brakes perform. When braking performance is reduced, it can take a longer distance to bring the vehicle to a stop. Needing more distance to stop increases the chance of a crash happening before the vehicle can stop in time.
Hyundai is recalling certain Palisade vehicles because the bolts used to mount the side curtain airbags may damage those airbags when they deploy. If the airbags are damaged this way, they may not inflate the way they are supposed to during a crash, which means they may not protect occupants as intended.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

The 2021 Hyundai Palisade has the most, with 6 recalls. The 2025 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 3. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
