Hyundai has issued a caution regarding the seatbelt system in certain 2026 Palisade models. The concern arises from potential wiring damage in the seatbelt of the third-row, left-hand side seat when pulled, as reported on Transport Canada’s Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database. This wiring issue may lead to a misleading seatbelt indicator that falsely shows the seatbelt as being fastened when it is not, emphasizing the importance of wearing seatbelts for crash safety.
Approximately 4,203 vehicles in Canada could be impacted by this seatbelt issue. Hyundai has pledged to inform affected drivers through written notifications, urging them to visit a dealership for the necessary seatbelt wiring repair. Alternatively, drivers can check if their vehicle is affected by entering their vehicle identification number on Hyundai’s online recall lookup website or by contacting 1-888-216-2626.
Earlier this year, Hyundai recalled numerous vehicles in the U.S. and Canada and halted sales of certain new Palisade models due to a separate issue involving the second and third-row power seats failing to stop moving upon detecting contact with a passenger or object. The recall was prompted by a tragic incident in Ohio where a two-year-old child lost their life.
