Hyundai Motor America is recalling approximately 568,580 of its 2020-2025 Palisade vehicles because the seat belt buckles for the driver, front passenger, and second-row window seats may fail to latch. If the buckle does not latch, occupants may not be properly restrained during a collision. Hyundai dealers will replace the affected seat belt buckle assemblies free of charge, with a final remedy expected to be available in June 2026.
A seat belt buckle that fails to secure correctly will not hold the passenger in place during a crash. This failure to restrain the occupant significantly increases the risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident.
