Buying a used 2020 Hyundai Palisade? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 531 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

Five recalls span fire, restraints and visibility: tow hitch wiring that can start a fire (park outside), side curtain airbags that may not inflate properly, seat belt buckles that may not latch, third-row curtain airbags that can deploy improperly, and wipers that can quit entirely. The unverified complaint file is large — 531 NHTSA reports, 13 crashes, 7 fires, 16 injuries — and its top areas, engine (128) and visibility/wiper (114), echo the wiper recall.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Check whether a tow hitch is fitted and whether that recall was completed
3. Test the wipers on all speeds, including intermittent, before buying
4. Latch every seat belt buckle, including the third row
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
