U.S. auto safety regulators announced on Friday that they have opened a preliminary evaluation into approximately 332,288 Hyundai Palisade SUVs over a potential seat belt defect. The investigation covers models from 2020 to 2023.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the seat belts in these vehicles may inadvertently unlatch without warning, posing a significant risk of injury due to the loss of seat belt protection.
The evaluation is the first step in determining whether the issue warrants a more in-depth engineering analysis. If the investigation into the Hyundai SUV seat belt defect progresses and the defect is confirmed, the NHTSA could mandate a recall.
If your vehicle is affected by this issue, it’s essential to get it checked and repaired by a trusted professional. Visit Collision Connect to find reliable repair centers near you and ensure your car is safe on the road.
