Canada2026 Hyundai PALISADE SUVs are affected; the recall concerns the third-row left-hand (driver’s side) seat belt buckle wiring. The wiring can become damaged when the buckle is pulled, which may cause the seat belt status indicator to incorrectly show a seat belt as buckled when it is not. Hyundai will notify owners in writing and advise taking the vehicle to a dealership to install an extension to the wiring harness; the dealer will replace the seat belt buckle assembly if necessary.
How to identify it
2026 Hyundai PALISADE
The hazard
On certain vehicles, the wiring for the third-row left-hand (driver's side) seat belt buckle could become damaged when the buckle is pulled. As a result, the seat belt status indicator in the instrument panel may incorrectly show that a seat belt is buckled when it's not.
A seat belt status indicator that doesn't work correctly could create confusion. Not wearing a seat belt increases the risk of injury in a crash.
What to do
Hyundai will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install an extension to the wiring harness. The dealer will replace the seat belt buckle assembly, if necessary.
