WASHINGTON — Hyundai Motor is recalling ​568,576 Palisade sports utility vehicles in the U.S. over ⁠improper deployment of side curtain airbags, the ‌National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ⁠said on Thursday.

NHTSA said ‌the side ‍curtain airbags for third-row ⁠occupants in ⁠these SUVs may deploy improperly in a crash, adding that the remedy is currently under development.

NHTSA said that the airbags involved ‍in the recalls were supplied to Hyundai by Sweden's Autoliv, which is the world's largest producer of airbags and seat belts.

Separately, Hyundai will also ‌recall an additional 41,651 vehicles in the ‌U.S. over an instrument panel display failure, which will be fixed through a software ⁠update, the regulator ​said.
