What Car Shoppers Need to Know
- Hyundai’s stop-sale of 2026 Palisade and Palisade Hybrid Limited and Calligraphy trims is over.
- A permanent recall fix is now available in the form of a software update.
Hyundai announced a stop-sale of its 2026 Palisade Limited and Calligraphy trims following the death of a child in the power-folding seat, but a fix is now available. The recall fix involves a software update available to owners via an over-the-air update if they possess an active Bluelink subscription or a visit to a Hyundai dealer with the affected vehicle. In either case, the update is at no additional cost to owners.

The update “is designed to improve operational logic and enhance occupant and object detection,” according to Hyundai. When implemented, it does the following:
- The liftgate must now be open to operate the fold-flat feature of the second and third rows.
- Stowing and folding controls in the central touchscreen are now disabled.
- Switches on the seats and in the cargo area now require press-and-hold operation and are no longer one-touch.
- The second-row tilt-and-fold buttons on the seats now require press-and-hold operation to access the third row, with one-touch functionality to return the second-row seats to their previous position. Additional folding and other seat adjustments of the second-row require press-and-hold use of the seatback recline button.
- Occupant and object detection logic is improved.
Owners with questions can call Hyundai at 855-371-9460 (its number for this recall is 296). Hyundai says it is notifying affected owners via multiple means of communication.
