Buying a used 2021 Hyundai Palisade? Check these 6 recalls first

6 NHTSA recalls · 432 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

The 2021 Palisade has 6 recalls in this group. Tow hitch wiring fire risk brings a park-outside instruction, while brake fluid, wiper motor failure, wiper failure in snow, seat belt buckles, and third-row airbag deployment account for the other concerns. NHTSA lists 432 unverified owner complaints, including 108 seat belt entries and 55 each for electrical system and engine. The complaint record includes 8 crashes, 1 fire, and 20 injuries; it does not establish defect causation.

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. Obtain tow hitch wiring recall documentation and current parking instructions.
3. Verify brake fluid and both windshield wiper recall repairs.
4. Confirm buckle and third-row airbag repairs; ask about electrical and engine faults.
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.
