2025 Hyundai Palisade seat belt problems

SEAT BELTS

I am the owner of a 2025 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy FWD, VIN [XXX], which currently has two unrepaired safety recalls. The most concerning unresolved recall is NHTSA Recall 25V607 / Hyundai Recall 283, involving front-row and second-row outer seat-belt buckle assemblies that may contain out-of-specification components. According to the recall notice, the buckle may fail to fully latch under certain conditions, creating an increased risk of injury to occupants in a crash. I have been attempting to have this safety recall remedied, but Hyundai has been unable to provide the necessary replacement part. The dealership has advised me that the seat-belt buckle part was ordered but remains on backorder. Hyundai Motor America Consumer Affairs has also confirmed that they are still waiting for the part to arrive at the dealership. I have repeatedly contacted both the dealership and Hyundai Motor America regarding this unresolved safety recall. Hyundai assigned my case to National Consumer Affairs under case number XXX. I have been given multiple promised dates for updates and phone calls, but those calls have repeatedly been postponed without the recall being remedied. Hyundai has most recently confirmed to me in writing that it is still "diligently working on getting the seat buckle order into the dealership" and that I will be contacted by the dealer once the part arrives. My vehicle also has an additional unrepaired safety recall, NHTSA Recall 26V034 / Hyundai Recall 292, concerning third-row ejection mitigation requirements. I understand that recalls must be repaired at no cost to the owner, and I am not asking NHTSA to resolve a customer-service or financial dispute. My primary concern is that I have an unresolved safety recall involving the vehicle's seat-belt restraint system and Hyundai has been unable to provide the remedy because the necessary part remains unavailable. I am requesting that NHTSA document this complaint and review the circu INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT

This vehicle has had an open recall for defective seat belts since 9/11/2025, but the Hyundai dealership I purchased from has been unable to perform repairs due to insufficient parts on hand. I've been told we're on a waitlist for parts but there is a nationwide shortage and there is no estimate when parts will be available.

This is in relation to the recall 25V607000 issued September 19, 2025. My and my children's safety has been put at risk by Hyundai's failure to obtain replacement parts to fix this recall. They have no date expected for the requisite parts, and I am driving with the anxiety that the seatbelts could malfunction at any time and endanger me and my family.

To Whom It May Concern: I am submitting this complaint regarding a serious and ongoing safety defect involving the second-row driver-side seat belt in my Hyundai Palisade. I purchased this vehicle new on December 11, 2025, after being informed that the applicable seat belt recall repair had already been completed by the dealership on December 4, 2025. Despite the recall repair being performed prior to sale, the second-row driver-side seat belt continues to malfunction. On multiple occasions while the vehicle has been in motion, the seat belt has unexpectedly unlatched on its own while occupied by a passenger. This creates a severe safety hazard and leaves the passenger completely unprotected during travel. The issue has occurred repeatedly and has made the second-row driver-side seat unsafe to use. This defect is especially concerning because the vehicle was sold as repaired and safe following completion of the recall campaign. The continued failure of the seat belt system raises concerns that the recall remedy may be ineffective or incomplete. I am requesting that Hyundai Motor America and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigate this matter immediately. I also request that Hyundai provide a permanent repair solution and determine whether additional Hyundai Palisade vehicles may still be experiencing similar seat belt latch failures even after recall service has been completed. Vehicle Information: •Year/Model: Hyundai Palisade •VIN: [XXX] •Purchase Date: [XXX] •Recall Repair Completion Date: December 4, 2025 •Selling Dealer: Holler Hyundai 1150 N Orlando Ave Winter Park FL 32789 •Current Mileage: 8,169 I am extremely concerned about the safety of my passengers and believe this defect presents a significant risk of injury in the event of sudden braking or a collision. Please contact me regarding next steps and investigation of this matter. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

NHTSA complaint #11732984 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

SEAT BELTS

Vehicle is a 2025 Hyundai Palisade subject to Hyundai Recall 292, concerning improper deployment of the third-row side curtain air bags in a crash, in noncompliance with FMVSS 226 (Ejection Mitigation). Per Hyundai's recall notice, the remedy is still under development and no repair is currently available. The manufacturer has advised owners to continue driving while awaiting the remedy. The safety concern is significant because an infant is regularly transported in the third row of this vehicle. In a side-impact crash, improper side curtain air bag deployment increases the risk of injury or occupant ejection — a risk that falls directly on the person seated in the affected row. With no remedy available, owners have no means to mitigate this risk other than ceasing to use the third row entirely, which is not a reasonable long-term solution for a three-row SUV purchased specifically to accommodate additional family members. Regarding the specific guideline questions: the defect is a manufacturer-identified noncompliance and has not been (and cannot be) reproduced or inspected by a dealer, because no diagnostic or repair procedure exists. There are no warning lamps or pre-failure symptoms, as the defect would only manifest in the event of a crash. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance, as no crash has occurred. I am filing this complaint to formally document the safety risk while a remedy remains unavailable, and to request that NHTSA prioritize expedited development and deployment of the fix.

My 2025 Hyundai Palisade has multiple open safety recalls that have not been repaired and make the vehicle unsafe to operate. The dealership confirmed safety recalls effect my vehicle and my car is currently at the dealership since April 3rd. The first recall 283, involves the seat belts in the 1st and 2nd rows. Parts were ordered on January 20, 2026, but the repair has still not been completed after several months. The second issue is Recall 292 involving the ejection mitigation system and defective 3rd row airbags. This defect can allow rear passengers to be ejected from the vehicle during a crash. I have been informed that there is currently no remedy available for this recall. Hyundai has failed to provide a repair within a reasonable time, and one of the defects has no available fix. I do not feel safe transporting my family in this vehicle due to these unresolved serious safety issues. Hyundai provided me a 2024 Sante Fe loaner vehicle in which is currently under safety recall for seatbelts and has no other loaners available for me. Hyundai USA, case manager [XXX] , case #XXX has denied buy back without explanation. My vehicle is currently not drivable, unsafe, and no remedy available. I want a buy back to be able to purchase a new, safe vehicle for my family. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

This complaint is a follow-up update to my previously filed complaint, NHTSA Complaint No. 11726321, filed on March 23, 2026, regarding two open safety recalls on my 2025 Hyundai Palisade SEL Premium, VIN [XXX] . I am filing this updated complaint to report that a SECOND failed repair attempt has now occurred on the seat belt recall (NHTSA Recall No. 25V607 / Hyundai Recall No. 283). UPDATED STATUS OF SEAT BELT RECALL (25V607): First repair attempt: January 19, 2026 at Liberty Hyundai, Mahwah NJ (Invoice No. [XXX). Technician confirmed open recall. No correction made. Parts specially ordered (RC283-S8500-QQH Seat Belt Buckle Kit). Parts were not available. Second repair attempt: April 2026 at my servicing Hyundai dealer. Technician again confirmed open recall. Seat belt buckle parts remain on order and are still not available. No correction made. Two documented failed repair attempts now on record. UPDATED STATUS OF AIRBAG RECALL (26V034): As of the date of this complaint, Hyundai has still not developed a remedy for the third row airbag FMVSS 226 violation. No repair has been attempted or completed because no fix exists. This recall remains completely unresolved. SUMMARY: I purchased this vehicle on [XXX] from Maxon Hyundai, Union NJ. This is my primary and only family vehicle. I have children who regularly use the third row. After two separate dealer visits spanning more than three months, neither safety recall has been repaired. Hyundai has been unable to provide parts for the seat belt recall and has no remedy developed for the airbag recall. I am formally requesting that NHTSA: 1. Note this updated repair history in connection with Complaint No. 11726321 2. Escalate pressure on Hyundai Motor America to expedite parts availability for Recall 25V607 3. Continue monitoring Hyundai's progress on developing a remedy for Recall 26V034 (FMVSS 226 violation) 4. Consider whether Hyundai's ongoing failure to remedy these safety defects warrants INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOI

I was told to not put anyone in the back seat, but I purchased the vehicle for 3 rows because I need 3 rows for my family.

My 2025 Hyundai Palisade is currently subject to multiple safety recalls affecting occupant safety. These include a recall involving seat belt buckle assemblies in the front and second row seating positions, as well as a separate recall involving the third-row seating area where the vehicle may not meet federal safety standards for occupant protection and may increase the risk of injury during a rollover crash. At this time, there is no available remedy for the third-row safety recall. Although no crash or injury has occurred, I regularly transport my children in this vehicle and am concerned about operating a vehicle that has been identified as having an increased risk of injury in a rollover crash without any available fix. The vehicle is available for inspection, and I have scheduled a dealership appointment to address the recalls that currently have available remedies. However, the primary safety concern remains unresolved due to the lack of a repair for the third-row issue. This situation raises concerns about occupant safety and the ability to safely transport passengers.

I am submitting this formal complaint regarding an active safety recall affecting the seat belt system of my 2025 Hyundai Palisade XRT. Hyundai has acknowledged the existence of the defect. However, I was informed by a Hyundai customer service representative [XXX] ), under case number XXX, that there is currently no available remedy or repair for this recall. This situation is deeply concerning, as it involves a critical safety component intended to protect occupants in the event of a collision. Due to the nature of this defect, I do not feel safe operating the vehicle under any circumstances. Despite the acknowledged safety risk, Hyundai has not provided any adequate interim solution, such as a replacement vehicle or transportation assistance, leaving me effectively unable to safely use the vehicle. This places me in an unreasonable and unsafe position, as I am left with a vehicle that poses a potential risk to my safety without any available corrective action. I respectfully request that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that Hyundai provides a timely and effective remedy, as well as appropriate support to affected consumers.
