Hyundai is recalling 568,580 2020-2025 Palisade SUVs because seat belt buckles for the driver, front passenger, and second-row window seats can fail to latch. A buckle that does not latch leaves an occupant without proper restraint in a crash, increasing injury risk, and the Hyundai dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The seat belt buckle in the 2020-2025 Hyundai Palisade is the latch point that holds the belt tongue after you push it into place. This recall covers the driver, passenger, and second-row window-seat buckles. When the buckle latches correctly, it locks the belt so the restraint system can hold an occupant in a crash.
On affected Palisade SUVs, parts inside the buckle assembly were made with physical dimensions outside Hyundai's specification. The latch guide is the key piece. If its shape is off, friction inside the buckle increases, and the belt tongue does not lock into the buckle reliably. The replacement buckle uses latch guides that meet specification.
You can notice a lighter than normal audible "click" while fastening the belt, or a push button that sits lower in the buckle housing. If the belt comes unbuckled, the Palisade gives visual and audible seat belt alerts for all seating positions.

What's the safety risk?
A seat belt buckle that fails to latch will not properly restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Listen for a lighter click, check for a recessed buckle button, insert the belt firmly, and pull on it to confirm it is secured. Repair will be free at any franchised Hyundai dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2025 Hyundai Palisade is included in this recall.
- Wait for Hyundai's final remedy letter before scheduling the free seat belt buckle assembly replacement.
- Insert each seat belt firmly into the buckle with a quick, direct motion, then pull on the belt to confirm it is fully secured.
- Contact a franchised Hyundai dealer once the final remedy opens to schedule the buckle assembly replacement that fixes latch failures in the affected seats.
- Reference recall number 25V607 when you call, and bring the recall notice if Hyundai has mailed one.
What happens at the repair
Until Hyundai opens the final remedy, passengers should insert the belt firmly into the buckle with a quick, direct motion, then pull on the belt to confirm it is fully secured. Once the final repair is available, a Hyundai technician will replace the affected seat belt buckle assemblies. The dealer repair will be free under the recall. Hyundai uses its general reimbursement plan on file for eligible related repairs paid before the recall notice. Keep repair documentation and ask Hyundai customer service or the dealer service desk how to submit it.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 25V607?
Recall 25V607 covers 568,580 2020-2025 Hyundai Palisade vehicles with seat belt buckles in the driver, passenger, and second-row window seats that can fail to latch. A buckle that does not latch can leave an occupant without proper restraint in a crash. Hyundai dealers will replace the buckle assemblies for free.
What should I do if my 2020-2025 Hyundai Palisade is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Palisade is included in recall 25V607. Until the dealer repair is complete, insert the belt firmly with a quick, direct motion, then pull on the belt to confirm it is fully secured. Contact a franchised Hyundai dealer about the free buckle assembly replacement.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Hyundai dealers will replace the affected seat belt buckle assemblies free of charge. Reference recall 25V607 or Hyundai recall number 283 when you call the dealer.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is improper restraint in a crash. If a seat belt buckle fails to latch, the belt is not fully secured for that seating position. That increases injury risk for the driver, front passenger, or second-row window-seat occupant. Use Hyundai's interim belt-check step until the repair is done.
When will Hyundai send final repair letters?
Hyundai mailed interim safety-risk letters beginning October 23, 2025. Final remedy letters are expected in June 2026, when Hyundai opens the final repair process. You do not need to wait for a mailed letter to check your VIN or call a Hyundai dealer with recall 25V607.
