SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FLUID
- The defect
- 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.
- What it can cause
- Reduced braking performance can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 995 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 58% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Hyundai vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 16 times before this, most recently in April 2021 as 21V303000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 426 complaints with NHTSA, 62 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the service brakes, hydraulic, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in August 2020, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V034000 (air bags), 25V607000 (seat belts), 23V180000 (visibility/wiper), 22V633000 (trailer hitches).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Hyundai Motor America with NHTSA on October 27, 2021 as campaign 21V840000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
