Things to consider when insuring one

  • 5-star overall crash rating

    NHTSA’s top crash rating. Crash protection affects injury claims, which make up a large share of what auto insurance pays out.

  • Battery repairs and specialist shops

    Damage near the battery pack can be expensive to repair and fewer shops are certified. Ask how a policy handles battery damage and whether it covers charging equipment at home.

3 recalls

  • NHTSA 26V169000 · Mar 20, 2026

    seat belts: rear/other: buckle assembly

    Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2026 Hyundai Palisade and 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid vehicles equipped with "Limited" and "Calligraphy" trim packages. The internal wiring within the third-row driver-side seat belt buckle may become damaged and result in a permanent display of a belted third-row driver-side seat on the instrument panel.

    The risk
    A faulty seat belt status indicator may fail to alert occupants to an unfastened seat belt, increasing the risk of injury.
    The fix
    Dealers will install a wiring harness extension and replace the seat belt assembly, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning May 8, 2026. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 297.

    seats: mid/rear assembly: power adjust

    Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2026 Palisade and 2026 Palisade Hybrid vehicles equipped with a Limited or Calligraphy trim package. The second and third row power seats may fail to detect a person. The seat may continue to move after contacting a person during powered seat functions, such as one-touch tilt-and-slide or automatic power fold-and-stow.

    The risk
    A person, especially a child, may become trapped by a rear powered seat, increasing the risk of injury or death.
    The fix
    Owners are advised to exercise caution when operating the second and third row power seat functions until the repair is performed. Children are advised to not be in the rear seats or near the rear seating area during power-folding operation. The seat controller and the audio, visual, navigation software will be updated over-the-air (OTA) or by a dealer, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 14, 2026.
