Hyundai Motor America is recalling approximately 244,980 model year 2020-2022 Palisade vehicles. These SUVs may have a tow hitch harness installed as original equipment or purchased as an accessory through a dealership that is prone to electrical shorts. Debris and moisture can accumulate on the tow hitch harness module's circuit board, which can cause the harness to short circuit and catch fire. As a remedy, Hyundai dealers will inspect the vehicle and install a new fuse and wire extension kit if necessary, free of charge.
A short circuit in the tow hitch harness can cause a vehicle fire while the car is being driven or while it is parked. Owners should park their vehicles outdoors and away from structures until the recall repair is completed to prevent potential house fires.
