Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2020-2025 Palisade vehicles
Seat belt buckles that fail to latch may not properly restrain occupants in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Fix: Passengers are advised to insert the belt firmly into the buckle with a quick and direct motion, pulling on the belt to confirm the seat belt is fully secured, until the recall remedy is performed. Dealers will replace the seat belt buckle assemblies, free of charge. Interim notification letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed beginning October 23, 2025. Final remedy owner letters will be mailed in phases, beginning in June 2026 and expected to continue through December 2026. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 283. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 13, 2025.
Is there a fix? Manufacturer service bulletins

repair instructions, service campaigns, or warranty extensions sent to dealers. A TSB isn't a recall
(it's not a free safety remedy), but it's the manufacturer acknowledging the issue and how to fix it.

The failure pattern owners describe
Owners of 2025 Palisades are reporting active seatbelt failures under NHTSA Campaign 25V607000, issued September 2025. The primary failure is buckle assemblies in the first, second, and third rows that refuse to latch securely—they fail to click despite proper engagement, sometimes requiring forceful second attempts or refusing to lock at all. No warning lights alert drivers when this occurs.
A secondary issue is seatbelts that spontaneously unbuckle while driving, sometimes repeatedly in the same vehicle at highway speeds with zero warning. One owner reported all four seatbelts failed to lock during a rear-end collision.
A third design defect affects second-row captain's chairs where the buckle receiver sits too flush against the seat surface, making it inaccessible when child seats are installed. Hyundai corporate confirmed no remedy is available for this.
Remedy parts have been on backorder since the recall was issued. Owners report waiting 6 weeks to 4+ months with no available loaner vehicles, no timeline for repair, and dealerships instructing them to call weekly to check inventory. One dealer allocated a customer's ordered parts to another owner. Multiple owners parked their vehicles due to safety concerns, unable to safely transport children.
