The failure pattern owners describe
Owners of 2024 Palisades describe seatbelts that fail to latch, unlatch randomly during normal driving, and come disconnected from anchor points. The driver's and passenger's buckles frequently won't engage or stay secured, and some require excessive force to close. Several report the driver's seatbelt popping open while driving at steady speeds with no warning and no fault codes—a recurring problem for some within days of purchase. One owner's retractor failed twice in a few months, leaving the belt fully loose and unsafe. A cold-weather issue also affects buckles, which won't latch until multiple attempts in freezing temperatures.
Hyundai issued recall campaign 25V607000 in early 2026, but parts remain unavailable months later. Owners report vehicles grounded or parked at dealerships since February 2026 with no completion date. Dealerships say parts are on backorder; Hyundai headquarters told one owner the defect "is not covered" and provided no timeline. Dealers instructed some owners to keep driving with known defects or refused to replicate failures during short test drives, even when owners provided video evidence. One owner also notes the seatbelt anchor is too short for car seats and booster seats, making them nearly impossible for children to use safely. Owners with young children express fear of unprotected occupants in a collision.
