Airbag on other Palisade years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2026.
What this problem usually is
Airbag complaints split into a few kinds. The most common is an airbag warning light that won't go out. Others involve the passenger seat sensor switching the passenger bag off with an adult sitting there, an airbag that didn't deploy in a crash, or one that went off without a crash at all. A large share also come from owners waiting on a recall part.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the occupant sensor (9 reports).
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the airbags cover the 2020 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The side curtain air bags for third-row occupants may deploy improperly in a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 226, "Ejection Mitigation."
The mounting bolts used to secure the side curtain air bags may damage the side curtain air bags during deployment.

What owners wrote

“My vehicle is unusable due to the 2 recalls, Hyundai has taken control of the vehicle. Recall 292 does not have a fix and the seat belt recall has a shortage of parts. I have been trying for months to get this corrected.”

“I opened a case with Hyundai corporate due to the safety recalls, one being the second row seat belts and now the ejection recall for the third row passenger. I was told to use caution only to my request of a loaner or rental reimbursement. Hyundai is NOT honoring rental reimbursements as they submitted.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 4 of 25 reports involved a crash and 7 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
