What's wrong, in plain English
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.
What you should do
2. Until the repair is done, Hyundai says to push the belt firmly into the buckle with a quick, direct motion and then pull on the belt to confirm it is fully secured.
3. Contact a Hyundai dealer for the buckle replacement, or call Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. The repair is free of charge.
