Hyundai Motor America is recalling approximately 1,545 of its 2019-2024 Nexo hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The recall is due to a defect where the thermally activated pressure relief device (TPRD) can break, leading to a hydrogen gas leak. This leak creates a significant fire hazard while the vehicle is parked, increasing the risk of injury to occupants or bystanders.
A component in the fuel system can fail and cause hydrogen gas to leak; if this gas ignites while the vehicle is parked, it can result in a vehicle fire. Owners are advised to park their vehicles outdoors and away from buildings or structures until the repair is performed to prevent a fire from spreading to property.
You have 2 options:
Free replacement of the thermally activated pressure relief device (TPRD).
Precautionary parking guidance.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
