2023 Hyundai Palisade — Known Issues & Recalls

Your 2023 Palisade has two unresolved safety recalls affecting seatbelts in the front two rows and airbags in the third row. The seatbelt recall parts have been unavailable for nearly 6 months due to limited supply from Hyundai, and a second recall was issued on the same repair, halting fixes completely. The third row airbag defect has no parts, waitlist, or timeline available yet. With these safety systems affected, your family—including young children—currently has no fully safe seating in the vehicle. Resolving this will require Hyundai to supply and install replacement seatbelt assemblies and third row airbag modules once parts become available.

Your 2023 Palisade is subject to an active safety recall (26V034) because the curtain airbags in the third row don't meet federal ejection protection standards. Hyundai has confirmed there is currently no available fix for this problem, and the dealership cannot perform any repair at this time. You're unable to safely transport your family, and Hyundai's only suggestion is to leave the vehicle at a dealership at your own expense with no loaner vehicle or timeline for when a solution might be available.

Your 2023 Hyundai Palisade has two active safety recalls: the third-row side-curtain airbags may not deploy properly in a crash, and the second-row seat belt buckles may fail to latch correctly. You've experienced seat belts coming unbuckled while driving, which increases the risk of injury in an accident. Your dealership has offered to provide a loaner Santa Fe while repairs are made, but you're concerned about the timeline and safety of continuing to drive the vehicle. Resolving these issues will require the dealership to repair or replace the affected airbag and seat belt components.

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Palisade. The contact became aware on the website that the VIN was associated with NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 26V034000 (Air Bags) and 25V607000 (Seat Belts); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The vehicle was taken to the dealer.

Your seatbelts in the second row have unlatched unexpectedly while driving on 5 separate occasions, putting your children at risk. Your local dealership has had the replacement parts on back order since you purchased the car in September 2025. The fix will require your dealership to install replacement seatbelt hardware once the parts become available.

Your 2023 Palisade has a recalled seat belt issue (Recall #25V607000, issued September 2025), but the dealership told you they don't have the replacement parts in stock to fix it. Since your children use the backseat daily, this is a safety concern that needs to be addressed. Contact Hyundai customer service to find another authorized dealership with parts in stock, or ask about getting a loaner vehicle while waiting for parts to arrive.

I've been trying to get defective seat belt replaced since December 2025 as we've had occurrences where the buckle will come unlatched. The dealer just says there are no parts available and it's been 4 months!

We were driving on a residential street, and our sunroof just exploded!

I've had two incidents with my car. I've been to the service center several times, but no one can help me. How much longer can this go on?

Your brakes stutter and lurch when braking over uneven pavement, even at low speeds, making it difficult to stop smoothly. This has happened multiple times at various speeds (5 mph to 35 mph), and in some cases you've nearly hit other vehicles or entered intersections when you couldn't stop in time. The problem started within the first few months of owning the car and continues despite reporting it to the dealership multiple times. This likely involves inspection and possible replacement of brake components that may be sensitive to uneven road surfaces.

Your steering wheel makes a clunking sound and locks up when turning at low speeds or when the engine restarts after idling, sometimes jerking hard enough to pull the wheel from your hands. The dealership replaced the coupler but the problem persists, and they haven't been able to reproduce the issue despite it happening multiple times daily. This creates a safety concern because you could lose steering control at traffic lights or during turns when accelerating.

Your 2023 Palisade has two seatbelts that are randomly coming unbuckled while driving, which is a safety concern when transporting children. Hyundai has issued a recall to fix this problem, but the dealership is experiencing severe parts shortages—they're only receiving two replacement seatbelt buckles per week, making it difficult to schedule repairs. You'll need replacement seatbelt buckles installed, which requires ordering the recall parts from Hyundai and scheduling service once they become available.

Your car hesitates when accelerating at times. Your vehicle is under a seat belt recall that hasn't been fixed yet — the dealership has been waiting for parts for over two months, and the second row seat belts are getting stuck and won't work properly. There's also no available fix for the third row seat belt safety issue. The dealership can't provide you with a loaner car while they wait for parts and service availability.

Your steering wheel bounces and makes a loud "thunk" sound when driving forward slowly or even when stopped, causing your front end to vibrate. This has been happening for several months, and you're concerned the steering could fail at higher speeds.

Your rear shock absorbers have failed, which is affecting your steering and how the vehicle handles on the road. You may notice poor handling or a rough ride. The fix will likely involve replacing the rear shock absorbers.

At low speed, and today for the first time completed stopped at a stop sign, we here and feel a very loud "thunk" through the steering wheel and coming from under the front end of the vehicle. It's very loud and jerks the steering wheel when it happens, and can be felt through the car seats as well. The whole vehicle seems to shake.

Rear Shocks Failed. Were Replaced under warranty. This is the second time this has occurred
