For those fascinated with Hyundai Palisade
Itās an odd issue that is almost exclusively found on the beige interior limited trims and seems to be isolated in most cases to the headrests. People have had success eliminating the odor by treating the foam in the headrests, but thereās no reason that shouldnāt be handled under warranty.

Does it have affect Tellurides with similar interiors?
I wasnāt impressed with the interior whether it stinks or not.

I donāt know. I donāt follow the Telluride forums, although, I havenāt heard any moaning on the Palisade forums about what Kia did/didnāt do about it, so Iām guessing no.
I have this dreaded garlic smell in my Palisadeā¦ black nappa leather. It is definitely coming from the headrest area. I am hoping now that it is getting a bunch of media that Hyundai will put more effort into finding a fix for this. I would imagine the only true fix is to replace the headrests with new ones that do not have the smell issue, but of course they have to identify why they are smelling. General consensus amongst the Palisade forums is that it is the foam itself or the adhesive used in the headrests causing the garlic offgassing smell.
Interesting. Most seem to be isolated to the beige interior. Havenāt heard about many black interiors having this.
Definitely seems to be only an issue on the limited interior with the nappa leather though. I donāt think Iāve heard of any of the lower trims having it.
Yup, not as many black nappa owners have mentioned the smellā¦ my wife hates me because I bought charcoal bags for the car and I explained to her about the smell. She said she did not smell it at all, but now that I pointed it out to her, thats all she smells.
Moral of the story right there lol

This reminds me of a stripper that a friend hired for a bachelor party.
She sweated a lot and smelled like tires.
