    Hyundai is recalling over 568,000 Palisade SUVs from the 2020 through 2025 model years to fix their side-curtain airbags. The airbags may not offer enough head protection for third-row passengers during certain types of crashes, including vehicle rollovers, and therefore do not currently meet federal motor vehicle safety standards.

    According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the issue was uncovered during a routine compliance test. The automaker says that it is still researching the problem and that a fix is still under development. When a remedy is available, Hyundai dealerships will notify owners and address the issue free of charge.
