NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation got 37 reports about seatbelts coming undone on their own. This could be dangerous if it happens during a crash, like in a pile-up on the freeway.
Seatbelts are still one of the best ways to stay safe in a car, even with all the new electronic safety features. That's why this investigation is important.
Right now, NHTSA is doing a first check. If they need to, they'll take a closer look. If the engineers find a problem with the Palisade's seatbelts, they might announce a recall.
Drivers who've had issues might worry about their car's safety. It could take a while before everything gets sorted out.
For now, NHTSA will keep checking the seatbelt issue. They'll let us know what they find out.
In a separate issue, Hyundai already recalled about 4,000 of its 2024 Palisades. The problem was with valve springs in the 3.8-liter V6 engine. These springs could break and damage the engine block. Hyundai says a batch of springs got damaged during production.
