Hyundai Palisade Recalls

The Hyundai Palisade has 28 recalls spanning the 2020–2026 model years, with the most serious being a fire risk on 2020–2022 models where debris and moisture on the tow hitch harness circuit board can cause an electrical short and ignite a fire, even while the vehicle is parked.

The 2025 and 2026 model years carry several notable concerns. On 2025 vehicles, the electric oil pump controller can allow moisture into its circuit board, causing a short that creates a fire risk while parked or driving. On 2026 models with Limited or Calligraphy trim, the second and third-row power seats can fail to detect a person in their path and continue moving, trapping an occupant. Also on 2026 models, a software error can cause the instrument panel display to go blank, taking the speedometer and warning lights with it, and the third-row driver-side seat belt buckle wiring can be damaged in a way that makes the instrument panel show the belt as fastened when it is not.

The 2024 model year has two engine-related fire and stall risks: valve springs can break while driving, causing a sudden loss of power and potentially punching a hole in the engine block that lets oil contact hot surfaces. Separately, the idle stop-and-go oil pump controller can overheat on 2023–2024 vehicles, also raising the risk of fire. On 2024 models equipped with dark premium suede seats, the passenger seat sensor can fail to detect an occupant and deactivate the front passenger airbag.

Across 2020–2025 models, seat belt buckles in the driver, front passenger, and second-row outboard positions can fail to latch, and third-row side curtain airbags can deploy improperly in a crash. The 2023 model year has a brake booster diaphragm that can shift out of alignment, causing an internal vacuum leak and reducing power brake assist. On 2021 models, contaminated brake fluid can swell the master cylinder seals and extend stopping distances.

The 2022 model year has an instrument cluster that can be disabled by excess adhesive applied during manufacturing, blanking out gauges and warning lights. The wiper motor is a recurring issue across 2020–2023 production: snow and ice buildup can stall the motor and leave the driver without wipers. Going back to the 2020 model year, the side curtain airbags can be torn by their own mounting bolts during deployment, preventing proper inflation, and a separate accessory trailer wiring harness with a specific part number can overheat and catch fire even with the vehicle off.
