A safety part on the hydrogen fuel tank that releases pressure may break. If it breaks, hydrogen gas can leak out, which can start a fire while the vehicle is parked. Hyundai will replace this part to fix the problem.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
The sensors that are supposed to detect hydrogen gas leaks in the fuel system may fail to do their job. If a leak isn't detected, it can increase the risk of a fire, whether the car is parked or being driven.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
Some Hyundai Nexo vehicles have a hydrogen fuel inlet receptacle filter that could detach after hydrogen refueling. If the filter detaches, it can cause a leak in the hydrogen fuel system.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
Hyundai is recalling certain Kona Electric and Nexo vehicles because the brake system may pick up an abnormal signal from a sensor. When that happens, it can significantly cut down how much braking power the vehicle has. That means it could take longer to stop than expected, which matters most in situations where you need to brake quickly. The problem is related to the software that runs this electronic braking system.
The Remote Smart Parking Assist feature is supposed to stop the vehicle if it detects a malfunction in the system. That software may fail to prevent the vehicle from moving when such a malfunction is detected.
