2021 HYUNDAI PALISADE — Complaint #2163411
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about TIRES:SIDEWALL filed January 6, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2163411 (ODI reference 11709028) concerns a 2021 HYUNDAI PALISADE and was filed on January 6, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 2, 2026. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as tires:sidewall, 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 tires:sidewall failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2021 HYUNDAI PALISADE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
Both front tires have to be replaced due to cracking along the outer circumferential area where the sidewall meets the treads. Tire size 245-50R-20.
