A recall has been issued for the 2025 Hyundai Palisade in Australia after a software fault was identified in a key safety system. The issue affects how critical driving information is displayed to the driver.
A total of 516 vehicles are impacted, with all variants included. Hyundai has confirmed that a fix is available and will be rolled out to affected owners.
What’s the defect, and why is it serious?
Hyundai has issued a recall for the 2025 Palisade (LX3) in Australia, following the identification of a software-related issue.
The problem lies within the instrument panel cluster (IPC), which is responsible for displaying key driving information. Under certain conditions, the system may fail to illuminate important data.
This includes:
- Vehicle speed
- Fuel level
- Safety system warnings
As a result, drivers may be left without critical information while the vehicle is in motion. This can reduce driver awareness and response time in certain situations.
Authorities warn that a loss of safety system warnings could increase the risk of an accident. This may pose a danger not only to occupants, but also to other road users and pedestrians.
Which vehicles are affected?
The recall applies to a specific batch of Palisade SUVs sold in Australia.
- Make: Hyundai
- Model: Palisade (LX3)
- Year range: 2025
- Total units affected: 516

A full list of affected VINs has been published as part of the official notice. Owners can check this list to confirm if their vehicle is impacted.
What should owners do now?
Hyundai Motor Company Australia will contact affected owners directly in writing.

In some cases, vehicles equipped with Bluelink connectivity may receive the update via over-the-air (OTA) technology. This allows the fix to be applied remotely without visiting a dealership.
