## What is wrong

Hyundai Motor America \(Hyundai\) is recalling certain 2026 Palisade and 2026 Palisade Hybrid vehicles equipped with a Limited or Calligraphy trim package. The second and third row power seats may fail to detect a person. The seat may continue to move after contacting a person during powered seat functions, such as one\-touch tilt\-and\-slide or automatic power fold\-and\-stow.


## What can happen

A person, especially a child, may become trapped by a rear powered seat, increasing the risk of injury or death.


## The remedy

Owners are advised to exercise caution when operating the second and third row power seat functions until the repair is performed. Children are advised to not be in the rear seats or near the rear seating area during power\-folding operation. The seat controller and the audio, visual, navigation software will be updated over\-the\-air \(OTA\) or by a dealer, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 14, 2026. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1\-855\-371\-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 296.
