2025 Hyundai Palisade vehicles recalled for electric oil pump fire risk

Hyundai is recalling certain 2025 Palisade vehicles because an insufficient seal on the electric oil pump controller can allow moisture to accumulate and cause an electrical short that may result in fire. Owners should park vehicles outside and away from structures until the repair is completed.

NHTSA safety advisory

Park this vehicle outside

NHTSA advises parking it away from buildings and other vehicles until the repair is done — the risk exists even when the vehicle is switched off.

This is the agency’s own advisory, not our assessment. Contact the manufacturer or a dealer, and see the official NHTSA notice for the current guidance.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a structural vehicle defect (electric oil pump controller seal failure) that poses risk of fire, which can result in injury. This meets the Severe (Score 4) criterion for structural vehicle defects with potential for significant injury.

Plain-English summary

Hyundai Motor America is recalling certain 2025 Hyundai Palisade vehicles due to a defect in the electric oil pump controller. An insufficient seal on the controller may allow moisture to accumulate in the printed circuit board, which can cause an electrical short and result in a fire.

Dealers will replace the electric oil pump controller free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 11, 2025.
