Hyundai Motor America is recalling 63 of its 2024 Palisade vehicles specifically equipped with dark premium suede seats. The Occupant Detection System (ODS) in these vehicles may fail to identify when a passenger is seated, which could deactivate the front passenger air bags. This defect means the vehicles do not meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208 for occupant crash protection. Owners should take their vehicle to a Hyundai dealer for a free software update to correct the detection system.
If the detection system fails to recognize a passenger, the front passenger air bags will remain deactivated and will not deploy during a collision. This significantly increases the risk of serious injury to the front seat occupant during a crash.
