2020 Hyundai Palisade · Visibility
Windshield wipers may become intermittent or stop
Wipers that slow or stop under snow load are the specific failure addressed by Hyundai recall 233 on certain Palisades.
What the reviewed source says
Start with the documented condition, not a parts guess.
Hyundai recalled certain 2020 to 2021 Palisade vehicles because the windshield wiper motor may function intermittently or become inoperative when snow or ice impedes the wiper arm. Reduced visibility in bad weather can raise crash risk. The final dealer procedure replaces the driver's-side wiper arm with a revised part.

Clear snow and ice before using the wipers
With the vehicle switched off and parked safely, clear packed snow and ice from the glass and around the wiper arms before operation. This may reduce load but does not replace the recall repair.
Do not force a frozen arm or pour hot water on cold glass.

Read the method beside the problem
These guides explain the safety and evidence checks that apply to this problem file.
Check recalls by VIN
A VIN search checks the displayed NHTSA records for an unrepaired safety recall associated with one vehicle. A model search shows only the wider campaign population.
Read guide ↗When a car is unsafe
A warning light does not always mean the same thing, but weak brakes or smoke leave little room for experimentation. Damaged tires and certain recall instructions can do the same.
Read guide ↗Why symptoms overlap
“It makes a weird noise” is useful human language. Diagnosis begins when that language is tied to the exact vehicle and its operating conditions.
