NHTSA complaint #2134118 (ODI reference 11689835) concerns a 2021 HYUNDAI PALISADE and was filed on September 26, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 25, 2025. The report was geocoded to Wisconsin based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as chest clip, buckle, harness, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HYUNDAI PALISADE cohort independently describe similar chest clip, buckle, harness failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data.
