The recall affects 2026 Hyundai PALISADE SUVs. On certain vehicles, the second- and third-row seats may not detect an obstruction when using power folding functions (including automatic stow and one-touch tilt-and-slide), so the seats may not stop moving and could increase the risk of injury. Hyundai advises ensuring seats are empty before using power folding and not using the one-touch tilt-and-slide when entering or exiting the third row; owners will be notified and eligible vehicles will receive an over-the-air or dealer software update.

How to identify it
2026 Hyundai PALISADE
The hazard
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the second and third-row seats may not detect an obstruction when the power folding functions are used, including when using the automatic power folding (stow) or the one-touch tilt-and-slide (walk-in) features. If this happens, the seat(s) may not stop moving even if there's an obstruction.
Safety Risk:
A seat that doesn't stop moving could increase the risk of injury.
Corrective actions:
To reduce the safety risk, Hyundai advises you to ensure the seats are empty before using any power folding function and not to use the one-touch tilt-and-slide (walk-in) feature when entering or exiting the third-row seats. Hyundai will notify owners in writing and send a wireless over-the-air software update to eligible vehicles to update the seat controller and audio, visual, navigation software. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the update performed at a Hyundai dealership.
