Overview
- A global stop‑sale is in effect for the affected trims as Hyundai finalizes a recall filing with NHTSA and other agencies.
- About 68,500 MY26 Palisades are included, with 60,515 in the U.S. and 7,967 in Canada; lower trims lacking powered rear seats are excluded.
- The issue involves second‑ and third‑row power seats that may fail to detect contact during folding or tilt‑and‑slide operations.
- An interim software update is expected by the end of March, with a permanent dealer repair to follow at no cost and rental vehicles available for concerned owners.
- The measures follow a March 7 incident in Ohio that killed a two‑year‑old and is under investigation, with prior late‑2025 NHTSA complaints noting similar seat behavior.
