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

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

Six recalls, including tow hitch wiring that can start a fire (park outside), a brake fluid problem that can weaken braking, seat belt buckles that may not latch, two separate wiper recalls — one general, one for quitting in snow — and third-row curtain airbags. Seat belts is also the top unverified complaint area, 108 of 432 NHTSA reports, alongside 8 crashes, 1 fire and 20 injuries, so the buckle issue appears in owner reports too.

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. Confirm the seat belt buckle recall was performed, then test each buckle
3. Ask whether the brake fluid recall was done and check pedal firmness
4. Verify both wiper recalls and the tow hitch wiring recall by VIN
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.
