What is being recalled
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2021 Palisade vehicles. The brake fluid may be contaminated, which can cause the brake master cylinder inner-cup seals to swell, and reduce braking performance.
Why it is dangerous
Reduced braking performance can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder, and flush the brake fluid, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 24, 2021. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 212.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 21V-840 when calling a dealer.
