        "summary": "PT Hyundai Motors Indonesia has assured that no incidents related to the automatic folding seat issue have been reported for Palisade vehicles in the country, despite a global recall prompted by a fatal accident in the US. The company is implementing precautionary software updates via over-the-air systems to maintain safety standards, ensuring that Indonesian customers' vehicles remain covered under official warranties. This response highlights the automotive industry's commitment to global safety protocols, with the recall affecting specific variants produced up to March 2026 in markets like North America and South Korea.",
        "content": "<p>PT Hyundai Motors Indonesia (HMID) has confirmed that, to date, no\nincidents related to the automatic folding seat problem have been found\nin Palisade units circulating in Indonesia, even as a recall policy is\nunderway in several countries. Chief Operating Officer of HMID,\nFransiscus Soerjopranoto, explained that the case triggering the massive\nrecall occurred in the United States (US). He emphasised that, based on\ntechnical monitoring and field reports, no similar issues have been\nidentified in units sold in Indonesia. \u201cSo, for the Palisade recall,\nthis incident happened in the United States, not in Indonesia. So,\nIndonesia has zero accidents,\u201d said Fransiscus when met by the media\nafter the Hyundai Premium Courtesy Car Programme event in Jakarta on\nThursday (16\/4\/2026). Although there have been no incident reports in\nthe country, Hyundai Indonesia stated that it remains compliant with the\nglobal safety standards set by the principal, Hyundai Motor Company. As\na preventive measure, the company is carrying out vehicle software\nupdates through an over-the-air (OTA) system, a digital mechanism that\nallows updates without requiring customers to visit an official\nworkshop. This recall is a global response to the tragic incident in\nOhio, United States, on 7 March 2026, where a child died after being\ntrapped by the automatic folding seat mechanism. The issue concerns the\nfailure of the anti-pinch system, a safety feature that should prevent\nthe seat from continuing to move if obstructed by an object or\npassenger. Further investigation revealed that Hyundai had actually\nreceived initial reports regarding the potential failure of this system\nas early as August 2025 in California. A consumer reported that their\nchild was nearly trapped by the second-row seat that moved electrically.\nHowever, at that time, the manufacturer\u2019s internal examination deemed\nthe seat mechanism to be functioning normally, so the case was closed in\nOctober 2025. Now, the global recall policy covers around 74,965 units\nin North America and 57,474 units in South Korea for vehicles produced\nup to 11 March 2026. The recall focuses on variants with automatic\nfolding seats, such as the Limited and Calligraphy types, while variants\nwith manual seats are stated to be unaffected. In response to the\nsituation, Frans emphasised that recalls are a standard procedure in the\nautomotive industry to maintain quality and user safety. He also assured\nthat all Hyundai units marketed in Indonesia remain protected by\nofficial warranties, so consumers do not need to worry about their\nvehicle\u2019s after-sales guarantees.<\/p>",
