"Hyundai just issued two separate recalls on its Palisade and Ioniq 6 vehicles, totaling more than 600,000 cars that might not be road safe. The first recall, which constitutes the bulk of the total affected vehicles, is related to potentially faulty seat belts. The second is due to a defect on some electric models that could result in their charging port panels detaching on the road."
"Both recall notices were published on September 12 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The first recall notice concerns an estimated 568,580 Hyundai Palisade vehicles. Per the description, Hyundai found that "The seat belt buckles in the driver, passenger, and second-row window seats may fail to latch," which could increase the risk of passenger injury during a crash."
"The second notice is related to an additional 31,042 Ioniq 6 EVs. This model is being recalled because its charging port doors have been found to detach, which could "create a road hazard for other vehicles." Which cars are covered under the recall? The two affected models are: Palisade vehicles sold between 2020 - 2025, NHTSA ID Number 25V607000 Ioniq 6 vehicles sold between 2023 - 2025, NHTSA ID Number 25V606000"
Two recalls published September 12 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration affect an estimated 568,580 Hyundai Palisade SUVs and 31,042 Ioniq 6 electric vehicles. Palisade models sold 2020–2025 may have seat belt buckles in the driver, passenger, and second-row window seats that fail to latch, increasing injury risk in a crash. Ioniq 6 models sold 2023–2025 may have charging port doors that can detach and create road hazards. Hyundai dealers will inspect and replace faulty Palisade seat belt buckles free and will apply additional adhesive to Ioniq 6 charging port doors free. Owners should confirm belts latch firmly until remedies are completed. Hyundai recall numbers are 282 (Ioniq 6) and 283 (Palisade); customer service is 1-855-371-9460.
