Hyundai is recalling about 61,000 of its model-year 2026 Palisade vehicles and halting sales of certain models after a fatal incident involving a child, according to multiple news outlets, including Reuters.
The action comes after a March 7 incident in which a 2-year-old girl from Ohio died. Hyundai said the circumstances remain under investigation and that it does not yet have full details of what happened, but that the problem involves second- and third-row power seats that may fail to detect an occupant or object.

“Hyundai is aware of a tragic incident involving a Palisade,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “While Hyundai does not yet have the full details and the incident is still under investigation, a young child lost her life. Hyundai extends its deepest sympathies to her family.”
Hyundai cautioned owners to make sure no children or objects are in the back two rows when using the power functions, advising, “When using the second-row one‑touch tilt‑and‑slide feature to access the third row, customers should avoid pressing the seatback button during entry or exit.”
The company is developing a free remedy, expected to include a software update to improve seat detection.
Both the Calligraphy and Limited trims are involved in the recall, which is being conducted in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. With vehicles from Canada included, the recall covers about 70,000 vehicles.
Previous complaints about the vehicle included one from December in which a passenger was injured while getting settled in a middle-row seat, according to Consumer Reports.
“A passenger got into the passenger-side middle-row seat, and the seat fold-up button was accidentally bumped while the person was trying to get situated and buckled,” according to the report. “The seat began moving and folding forward, pinning the passenger between the seat they were in and the back of the front seat.
“This incident hurt the passenger, who had the force of the seat against her, and it frightened her very badly. If the door had been locked, the passenger would not have been able to be helped out and could have sustained worse injuries.”
Hyundai also said that it will work with dealers to “offer interested customers a rental vehicle until a full remedy is available.”
Anyone with additional questions can call Hyundai at 800-633-5151.

Vitamins and supplements sold under the Boner Bear Honey, Red Bull Extreme and Blue Bull Extreme labels have been recalled because they contain undeclared active ingredients used in erectile dysfunction drugs, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
The products contain sildenafil and/or tadalafil, which are active ingredients in the FDA-approved prescription drugs Viagra and Cialis, respectively. Their use is restricted to those under the care of a licensed health professional.
“These undeclared ingredients may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs, such as nitroglycerin, and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels,” the FDA said. “People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease often take nitrates.”
No reports of adverse reactions have been reported.
The products were marketed as sexual enhancement honey products and are packaged in plastic tubes of single servings. More information is found here.
Consumers should stop using and discard the products. If they’ve had adverse reactions, they should consult their health care provider, the FDA said.
The distributor, Tampa, Florida-based Pure Vitamins and Natural Supplements, LLC, is listed in a database of fraudulent health care products. These companies have been cited in warning letters, online advisory letters, recalls, public notifications and news releases, according to the FDA.
In a related recall, Albuquerque, New Mexico-based Primal Supplements Group LLC is voluntarily recalling all orders of Primal Herbs Volume placed between July 2 and September 19, 2025, after an FDA lab analysis confirmed the presence sildenafil, which was not listed on the product label.
