Time for a Recall Roundup!
Hold onto your steering wheels, folks! Hyundai has decided to play an unexpected game of ‘Recall Roulette’ with nearly 600,000 vehicles in the U.S., including the crowd-favorite Palisade SUV and several models of the Ioniq electric vehicles. In a cheeky little announcement to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on September 12, they spilled the beans on a recall affecting 568,580 units of the 2020-2025 Palisade.
What’s the Scare?
The root of the issue? Faulty seat belt buckles in both the front and rear seats. Yes, you read that right—those little clicky-clacks may have a case of the hiccups! Although Hyundai only anticipates that about 1% of these unfortunate models may actually be affected, they’re opting for caution. If you notice a light ‘click’ when buckling up, it might be time to take a trip to your local Hyundai dealer. And the best part? It’s on the house!
More Recalls than a Game Show!
But wait—there’s more! Hyundai also issued a recall for 31,042 2023 – 2025 Ioniq 6 EV models for yet another quirky issue: a charging port door panel that might just decide to detach and run for freedom. If you own one of those beauties, dealers will fix it for you, free of charge, just like the Palisade. And, just to keep it extra spicy, there’s a third recall affecting *eight* 2025 Ioniq 5 models because, get this, some fasteners are feeling loose. Dealers will tighten things up and go the extra mile by replacing tires if necessary—all for free!
