In December 2021, recall campaign 11D189 was issued for 2021 Hyundai LX2 Palisade vehicles. Due to a manufacturing issue, the brake fluid may be contaminated – this could cause the master cylinder inner cup seal to expand, resulting in reduced braking performance. This condition increased the risk of a collision and injury to both vehicle occupants and other road users. To fix, a Hyundai dealer was to replace the master brake cylinder and brake fluid. Until the repair was carried out, drivers were advised to pay attention to any abnormality in brake pedal feel and be conscious of the vehicle’s stopping distance.For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005017.
