What the source says
The documented condition
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.

Repair paths and safe checks
Match the action to the evidence.
Replace the driver's wiper arm under recall 233
Have Hyundai verify the VIN and replace the driver's-side wiper arm with the revised recall part using the published installation procedure.
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.
