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: Rubric level 4 covers structural vehicle defects; a seat belt buckle that may not latch is a failure of a primary occupant restraint, and no injuries are reported.

Plain-English summary

Hyundai Motor America is recalling certain 2020-2025 Palisade vehicles. The potential number of units affected is 568,580, under NHTSA campaign number 25V607000. The recalled component is the rear and other seat belt buckle assembly.

The seat belt buckles in the driver, passenger and second-row window seats may fail to latch. Hyundai states that seat belt buckles that fail to latch may not properly restrain occupants in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Until the remedy is performed, Hyundai advises passengers to insert the belt firmly into the buckle with a quick and direct motion and to pull on the belt to confirm it is fully secured. Dealers will replace the seat belt buckle assemblies free of charge.
