Today’s recall alert involves the 2026 Hyundai Palisade.
Hyundai is recalling 46,787 units of the 2026 Palisade and Palisade Hybrid in Limited and Calligraphy trims over a fault tied to the third-row seat belt.
According to the filing, wiring inside the driver-side third-row seat belt buckle can become damaged. When that happens, the system may incorrectly show the seat as buckled at all times on the instrument cluster, regardless of whether it actually is.
The issue doesn’t involve the belt physically failing, but it does create a false status reading that could lead to occupants not being properly restrained without the driver realizing it.
To fix it, dealers will install a wiring harness extension and replace the seat belt assembly if needed, at no cost. Hyundai plans to begin notifying owners by mail starting May 18, 2026.
