What's wrong?
The electric oil pump on the 2025 Hyundai Palisade helps maintain hydraulic pressure inside the automatic transmission when the engine's stop-start system is active. Its controller is the small electronic unit that tells the pump when and how to run. That controller needs a sealed housing because its printed circuit board is not designed to hold moisture.
In affected vehicles under NHTSA campaign 25V291, the supplier's sealing tooling had a damaged spring. That manufacturing problem left the controller housing with an insufficient seal. Moisture can collect on the printed circuit board, cause an electrical short, and result in a fire.
Before failure, an owner can notice a burning or melting odor. The malfunction indicator light on the dash can also turn on, which is the vehicle's warning that the powertrain control system has detected a fault.
