VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR

The defect
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Palisade vehicles. The windshield wiper motor may become inoperative, causing the wipers to fail.
What it can cause
Windshield wiper failure can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
What the dealer does
Dealers will replace the driver-side windshield wiper arm, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 13, 2022. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 233.
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 122,949 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 93% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.

Hyundai vehicles have been recalled over the visibility 6 times before this, most recently in October 2016 as 16V726000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 954 complaints with NHTSA, 276 of them before this campaign was filed. 33 of those name the visibility, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in August 2019, 2 years 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 August 15, 2022 as campaign 22V627000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
