Hyundai has stopped sales of certain 2026 Palisade SUVs and plans a recall after a problem with power-folding seats that the company says may fail to detect contact with an occupant or object.<\/p>\n
The announcement comes after a young child died in an incident involving a Palisade that is still under investigation, according to the automaker.<\/p>\n
Reuters reported the victim was a 2-year-old girl from Ohio who was killed on March 7.<\/p>\n
“Hyundai is aware of a tragic incident involving a Palisade. While Hyundai does not yet have the full details and the incident is still under investigation, a young child lost her life. Hyundai extends its deepest sympathies to her family,” the company said in a press release Friday.<\/p>\n

Sales of the 2026 Palisade Limited and Calligraphy trims are currently on hold while Hyundai works with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on the recall.<\/p>\n
Hyundai said about 68,500 vehicles could be affected, including roughly 60,500 in the United States and nearly 8,000 in Canada.<\/p>\n
The automaker said it is developing a recall repair and an interim over-the-air software update designed to improve the system\u2019s ability to detect contact with occupants or objects and introduce additional safeguards.<\/p>\n

Hyundai is advising owners to ensure no person or object, including children, is in the seat or seat-folding area before operating the power seat.<\/p>\n
“When using the second-row one\u2011touch tilt\u2011and\u2011slide feature to access the third row, customers should avoid pressing the seatback button during entry or exit,” the company said.<\/p>\n

The automaker added that it may offer rental vehicles to affected customers until a permanent repair is implemented.<\/p>\n
“Hyundai\u2019s top priority is the safety of its customers, and additional details regarding the interim software update and final recall repair will be provided as they become available,” it said.<\/p>\n
