“The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Palisade. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V607000 (Seat Belts); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that the seat belt buckles in the second- and third-row seats failed to latch properly. The dealer was made aware of the failure but confirmed that parts were not yet available.”
“This vehicle has had an open recall for seat belts for over a year. We have had issues with the seat belts and stated that to our local hyundai shop in Farmington, NM multiple times. Even when the car has been in for other things. The only thing they can tell us is that the seatbelts are on backorder and they do not know when they will be in. Then they give us a print out stating the vehicle has an open recall. Like really, we know that you can't seem to fix it. My daughter who should still be in a booster seat is unable to use a booster due to the seat belts coming undone sometimes when buckling them if we use a booster. I feel like with a safety recall like this, if you can't get the seat belts in the cars that are already on the road, mabe the manufacturer does not need to be producing new cars as they too require seat belts. I put in the most recent date we were told the belts were on order in the date occurred.”

“My Hyundai Palisade is subject to Recall 283 (NHTSA Recall 25V607000) involving the seat belt system. The affected seat belt has exhibited sticking and binding issues. On at least one occasion, the belt became so tangled and stuck that I had to use pliers to free it. Children regularly use this seating position. I have contacted my Hyundai dealership, Circle Hyundai in Shrewsbury N.J., approximately 4-5 times over the past several months seeking recall repairs. Each time I was advised that parts were unavailable and that the dealership was waiting for Hyundai to supply the recall remedy. I also submitted an online service inquiry and did not receive a response. I am concerned that a known safety defect exists, the seat belt is exhibiting operational problems, and no repair has been made available despite repeated requests for service. I am submitting this complaint due to both the seat belt malfunction and the ongoing inability to obtain the recall repair.”
“Drive Seat Seatbelt unbuckles when driving. This has happened in the past lets say like every few months. In the month of April it happened twice in 1 week and the following week 5/2/26 1 time. This is a huge safety risk. Last time our vehicle went in for an oil change- dealership said there is no fix for this at this time. I filed a complaint with Hyundai XXX 5/3/26 after happened the day before. Because this vehicle’s restraint system may be unsafe to operate, I am requesting that Hyundai provide a loaner or alternate transportation until the defect is properly diagnosed and repaired. If Hyundai is unable to promptly and permanently correct this safety defect, I expect Hyundai to discuss further remedies, including vehicle replacement, repurchase, reimbursement of expenses, or other appropriate compensation. We have not received a call when it stated within one business day. I sent another email requesting assistance without resolution.”
