Hyundai has halted sales of certain 2026 SUV models and is preparing a large-scale recall after a 2-year-old girl died in an Ohio incident involving one of the brand’s vehicles.
Hyundai said it is stopping sales of the 2026 Palisade Limited and Calligraphy trims, which feature second- and third-row power seats that may fail to properly detect a person or object when folding or sliding, creating a safety risk. In response, the automaker is recalling about 68,500 of those vehicles across the U.S. and Canada, including more than 60,000 in the U.S., and is developing a fix that will be provided to owners at no cost once finalized.
