Among the 6 model years of Hyundai Palisade in our records for airbags problems, this one ranks #3 by owner-complaint volume.
Deactivated front passenger air bags will not deploy as intended, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
Sixteen 2024 Palisade owners describe three distinct airbag issues. Two involve actual crashes: one owner experienced airbag deployment that caused severe bilateral leg bruising progressing to hematomas requiring wound vac therapy over weeks, with the owner stating he would have been better off without the airbags. Another owner reported complete airbag non-deployment during a rear-impact collision at 55-60 mph where a truck hit from behind, pushing the vehicle into another car and flipping it into a ditch with front, rear, and side damage—the entire third row collapsed with zero airbag protection. A second non-deployment case involved an 18-wheeler striking at 85-90 mph causing four impacts and concrete barrier collision, again with no airbag deployment and no warning lights.
The remaining 13 complaints deal with recall parts unavailability. Owners received NHTSA Campaign 26V034000 (Airbags) recall notifications but dealers consistently reported parts not in stock, with some out of stock for months. Hyundai offered owners only partial rental reimbursement ($60/day versus actual rental costs of $157.50) and refused to provide loaner vehicles. Multiple owners contacted the manufacturer directly; some were told parts were unavailable with no timeline for repair. Owners expressed serious concern about driving vehicles with known airbag defects, particularly those with children in third-row seats, while awaiting unavailable parts.

Airbags failed to deploy during severe rear-impact and multi-directional crashes despite forces consistent with deployment thresholds. In one case, a vehicle was struck from behind at 55-60 mph by a large truck, pushed into another vehicle, and flipped into a ditch; airbags remained undeployed despite front, rear, and side impact damage. In another, an 18-wheeler hit at 85-90 mph caused four impacts and ricocheting into a concrete barrier with zero airbag deployment.
When: During high-speed rear-impact collisions (55-90 mph truck impacts)
Symptoms owners cite: No airbag deployment despite severe multi-directional impact; Vehicle sustained front, rear, and side damage with airbags inert; Third row collapsed during impact with no airbag protection; No warning lights illuminated before failure
Repairs/costs cited: Vehicles were totaled; crash scenes indicate deployment sensors or electrical circuits did not detect or respond to impact conditions.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: NHTSA Campaign 26V034000 issued for airbag defect; however, parts unavailable for recall repair as of complaint dates.
When airbags did deploy after a collision (3 on driver side, 1 passenger side), they deployed forcefully and contributed to or caused injury. Owner reported severe bilateral leg bruising appearing days after the crash, progressing to large hematomas requiring twice-daily wound care and a wound vacuum device over weeks of recovery. Owner stated explicitly that he would have been better off without the leg airbags.
When: Days post-collision deployment at approximately 25-30 mph impact into stopped vehicle
Symptoms owners cite: Airbags deployed with high force during frontal collision; Severe bilateral leg bruising appearing 3-4 days post-impact; Development of large hematomas (right ankle, left knee); Hematomas progressed to deep open wounds requiring wound vac treatment; Extended recovery period measured in weeks
Repairs/costs cited: Owner required ER evaluation, multiple wound care visits, and extended wound vac therapy for hematomas. Medical personnel noted bruising appearing days later is not unusual but severity required intervention.
Owners received recall notifications for NHTSA Campaign 26V034000 (Airbags) but dealers consistently reported that parts were not available for the repair. Multiple owners reported waiting months without remedy, with dealers unable to schedule or complete the recall due to parts shortage. Manufacturer acknowledged the issue in some cases but provided no loaner vehicles or alternative solutions.
When: Recall notification timing: 2025-2026; parts unavailable for months after notification
Symptoms owners cite: Recall notification issued but parts not stocked at dealers; Dealers unable to provide repair timeline; Extended waiting periods without resolution; Owners refused loaner vehicles; offered only partial rental reimbursement ($60/day vs. $157.50 actual cost)
Codes mentioned: NHTSA Campaign 26V034000
Repairs/costs cited: Dealers confirmed parts out of stock for extended periods. No repair completed in any of these cases due to parts availability.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: NHTSA Campaign 26V034000 issued; manufacturer acknowledged parts shortage in some cases but provided no remedy or timeline for repair; offered inadequate rental vehicle assistance.
