Hyundai is recalling hundreds of thousands of Palisade sports utility vehicles due to a potential issue with airbag deployment, as federal regulators have warned. This recall affects model years 2020 to 2025 Palisade vehicles.
The concern lies with the side curtain airbags designed for third-row occupants. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), these airbags “may deploy improperly in a crash,” which means the vehicles do not comply with federal safety regulations.

The NHTSA has indicated that a remedy for this issue is currently under development, with owner notification letters expected to be mailed by mid-March. FOX Business has reached out to both Hyundai and Autoliv for further comments.
NISSAN ISSUES MASSIVE RECALL AS FAULTY PART THREATENS ENGINE FAILURE
In addition to the Palisade recall, Hyundai has announced another recall affecting over 41,000 vehicles due to an issue with the instrument panel display. A software error is hindering the panel’s ability to show critical safety information, such as the speedometer and warning lights, which increases the risk of a crash, according to the federal auto regulator.
