Hyundai to Recall About 569,000 SUVs in US over Faulty Deployment of Air Bags
Nearly 569,000 SUVs fail federal safety standards due to third-row side-curtain airbags that may deploy improperly during crashes, increasing injury risks, NHTSA said.
- On Thursday, Hyundai Motor America announced a recall of nearly 569,000 Hyundai Palisade SUVs in the U.S., covering model years 2020–2025 under recall number 292.
- Compliance tests in December 2025 revealed the air bag issue, and NHTSA said the SUVs do not meet federal safety standards due to possible improper third‑row air bag deployment.
- Hyundai will mail owner notification letters by March 23, 2026 and reimburse owners for out-of-pocket costs, while also recalling over 41,000 vehicles for an instrument-panel display failure and over 80,000 cars for a software issue.
- Side curtain air bags are intended to protect passengers in rollovers and side‑impact collisions, but improper deployment could leave third‑row occupants more vulnerable to head injuries or ejection.
- The Hyundai Palisade was introduced in 2018 and sold in the U.S. from 2020 as the flagship three‑row SUV, with air bags supplied by Sweden's Autoliv, a leading global producer.
