Sept 18 (Reuters) - Hyundai Motor ( HYMLF ) is

recalling 568,580 Palisade vehicles in the U.S., over an issue

with the seat belt buckles which may not properly secure

passengers in a crash, the U.S. autos safety regulator said on

Thursday.

The recall affects certain 2020-2025 model year Palisade

vehicles, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

said.

Customers are advised to insert the belt firmly into the

buckle with a quick and direct motion, pulling on the belt to

confirm the seat belt is fully secured, until the recall remedy

is performed, the agency said.

The issue was caused due to parts in the seat belt buckle

assemblies, which may have been manufactured with out of

specification physical dimensions, the NHTSA said.
