Hyundai Recalls a Handful of 2025 Palisade SUVs Due to Fire Risk
The recall involves a faulty electronic oil pump that could short-circuit, but it only affects 620 copies of the mid-size three-row SUV.
The 2025 Hyundai Palisade is being recalled due to a potential fire risk, but only 620 total models are affected.
The recall stems from a faulty electronic oil pump that can short-circuit and possibly cause a fire.
Hyundai says owners can still drive their Palisade, but the recalled SUVs should be parked outside and away from buildings until they’re fixed.
Hyundai is recalling a handful of 2025 Palisade models because of a possible fire risk. The issue stems from a faulty electronic oil pump that can short-circuit and potentially cause a fire. The recall only affects a small portion of the mid-size three-row SUV’s total population (620, to be exact).
The Palisades that are involved were built in Korea and sold in the United States. According to the recall report that Hyundai submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on May 6, 2025, the problematic oil pump had improper hermetic sealing due to damaged tooling. As a result, this can let moisture get inside and cause the aforementioned short-circuit, thus increasing the risk of a fire.
Notably, Hyundai says that anyone who owns an affected vehicle can continue driving it until the issue is fixed. However, the automaker is advising that owners park their Palisades outdoors and away from buildings.
Hyundai says it will notify owners by mail, and they’ll be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the faulty oil pump. This will be covered under warranty, so it won’t cost anyone a penny. For anyone who has already paid to have the issue fixed, Hyundai says it will reimburse them.
