IMPORTANT: As required by federal law, dealers must not deliver new vehicles for sale or for lease to customers until all open recalls have been performed. Dealers must perform all open recalls on used vehicles, demo, and rental vehicles prior to placing them into customer use and whenever an affected vehicle is in the shop for any maintenance or repair.

To check vehicle specific recall applicability, access the “Vehicle Information” screen via WebDCS.

 

Recall Description

The subject vehicles contain engine valve springs that may fracture while driving due to fatigue cracking as a result of damage to the springs during manufacturing by the supplier. A fractured valve spring may result in a sudden loss of motive power. In rare cases, a hole in the engine block may occur due to a broken valve entering the combustion chamber.

 

Applicable Vehicles (Certain)

  • 2024MY Palisade (LX2) produced from 08/21/2023 – 10/12/2023 for sale in the U.S.

 

Remedy Information

This remedy is currently under development and additional information will be provided once it has been developed for release by HMA.

 

Recommended Alternative Transportation

A Service Rental Vehicle (SRC) should be provided to customers who do not feel safe operating their vehicle until a remedy is available. In addition, a SRC may be required based on any other additional work on the vehicle that may need to be addressed during customer’s visit. If a SRC is not available, other options such as a 3rd Party Rental or Rideshare may be provided.

 

Sample Customer Talk Track

Hyundai Recall Campaign 255

Attachment A: Requested Chronology of Events Leading Up to Decision

October- December 2023

On October 30, 2023, HMNA received a dealer Techline case regarding an engine stall condition caused by a fractured valve spring.

On December 11, 2023, HMNA’s Service Quality Department submitted a Quality Information Report to HMC regarding broken valve springs found during an engine teardown involving a model year 2024 Hyundai Palisade vehicle in the U.S. market.

 

January 2024

On January 5 and January 9, 2024, HMC informed NASO of information regarding manufacturing changepoint history provided by the valve spring and spring wire supplier(s).  NASO provided an update of U.S. market incidents for further HMC analysis.

On January 11, 2024, NASO’s Data Analysis (“DA”) team opened a case into the U.S. market condition.  The matter was escalated to the Data Review Committee (“DRC”) on January 16, 2024, and subsequently to the Technical Review Committee (“TRC”) as an open investigation on January 18, 2024.  NASO’s TRC began finalizing U.S. market field condition and severity while supporting warranty parts collection efforts to support HMC’s ongoing analysis through January-end.

On January 31, 2024, HMC informed NASO of its findings.  According to HMC, the supplier implemented a new inspection process in early January 2024 to confirm durability of newly built valve springs due to recent discovery of certain springs with surface irregularities caused by a damaged spring manufacturing die.  HMC also informed NASO of a safety recall determination made by Kia Motor America for U.S. specification vehicles containing valve springs from the suspect lot identified by the supplier.

 

February 2024

Based on HMC’s findings and confirmation of suspect lot traceability, HMA’s NASO convened its North America Safety Decision Authority on February 6, 2024, and decided to conduct a safety recall of affected Hyundai Palisade vehicles in the U.S. market.

❖ NASO has confirmed eighteen (18) unique incidents in the U.S. from October 30, 2023, through January 25, 2024. There are no crashes, injuries, or fatalities attributable to this condition in the U.S.
