Hyundai Recalls 46,000-Plus Palisades, Palisade Hybrids for Seat Belt Issue
In mid-March, Hyundai issued both a stop-sale and recall for its model-year 2026 Palisade and Palisade Hybrid three-row SUVs’ Limited and Calligraphy trim levels. The recall involved the vehicles’ second- and third-row power-folding seats and was prompted by a fatal incident involving a child. Now, the automaker is recalling the vehicles again — more than 46,700 of them — this time for the seat belt status indicator.

Again, affected vehicles include model-year 2026 Palisades and Palisade Hybrids in the Limited and Calligraphy trim levels. Due to an issue with internal wiring, the seat belt status indicator may not operate properly for the third-row driver-side belt buckle. As a result, the image on the instrument panel will permanently display that the seat belt is buckled even if it’s not, failing to alert occupants of an unfastened seat belt and increasing the risk of injury.
To resolve this issue, dealers will install a wiring harness extension and replace the seat belt assembly, as necessary, for free. Hyundai will notify owners May 18, but those with further questions can call the automaker at 855-371-9460 (Hyundai’s number for this recall is 297), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.
