Hyundai has issued a stop-sale of certain 2026 Palisade SUV models in the U.S. and Canada due to an issue with the second and third-row power seats.
The automaker is halting sales of the vehicles while it works on a recall after a young child died in an incident involving a Palisade. Hyundai said that it “does not yet have the full details and the incident is still under investigation” but that it “extends its deepest sympathies to her family.”
Hyundai said in some situations the rear seats may not adequately detect contact with an occupant or object, particularly during power‑folding operations, as well as during use of the second-row one‑touch tilt‑and‑slide function.
