## What is wrong

Hyundai Motor America \(Hyundai\) is recalling certain 2026 Hyundai Palisade and 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid vehicles equipped with "Limited" and "Calligraphy" trim packages. The internal wiring within the third\-row driver\-side seat belt buckle may become damaged and result in a permanent display of a belted third\-row driver\-side seat on the instrument panel.


## What can happen

A faulty seat belt status indicator may fail to alert occupants to an unfastened seat belt, increasing the risk of injury.

Dealers will install a wiring harness extension and replace the seat belt assembly, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning May 8, 2026. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1\-855\-371\-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 297.
