You received recall notices for both the airbags and seat belts in your 2022 Hyundai Palisade. The seat belt recall letter indicates repairs won't be available until February 2026, which you feel is an unreasonably long wait. You haven't experienced any actual failures yet. The manufacturer will need to perform the recall repairs when parts and service become available.

The airbag light came on and we took it in. The dealership reported that the airbag module has failed. This is a safety concern since this is not a common issue for cars to have unless its an older car, its been in an accident or moisture. We park the car inside a garage overnight every night. The light has been on for a few months and the dealership (Dean Team Hyundai in Ballwin, MO) confirmed the issued was the airbag module.
The vehicle is equipped with an Occupant Classification System that automatically turns the air bags off for the front passenger seat, if an adult sized passenger is not detected. There is no way to override this. My significant other is a normal sized adult woman. Normally when she is seated directly on the seat, the air bag does not turn off. However, medical issues with her lower back and sciatic joint require her to sit on a padded cushion when traveling. With this cushion on the passenger seat, the air bags turn off. The concern is that if we were to experience a collision, she would not be protected with the air bags. I asked the dealer if they could reprogram this. They advised that they are not equipped to do so, and are also prohibited by law from doing so.
