Hyundai to recall over 61,000 Palisade SUVs in US after fatal incident, NHTSA says

Hyundai is recalling 61,093 Palisade SUVs in the U.S. after a fatal accident linked to a power seat defect, according to the NHTSA. The recall raises near-term warranty/repair costs, reputational and regulatory risk and could modestly pressure Hyundai's shares and margins (likely a ~1-3% move for the company). Monitor NHTSA findings and any follow-on litigation or cost guidance.
