Hyundai Nexo hydrogen tank part can break, leaking gas

NHTSA campaign 24V761000 · Reported 2024-10-11 · Hyundai Motor America

critical How serious is it? About this label

Very serious: a hydrogen leak can cause a fire while the car sits parked, so park outside and away from structures, though the notice does not tell you to stop driving.

⚠ Park outside, away from buildings — fire risk. See all such recalls.

What's wrong, in plain English

The Nexo runs on hydrogen. A safety part on the hydrogen tank, meant to release pressure if the tank gets too hot, can break. If it breaks, hydrogen gas can leak out, and that leaking gas can catch fire while the car is parked. Hyundai dealers will replace that part for free. Hyundai mailed a first warning letter in November 2024, with letters telling owners the repair is ready starting in January 2025.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your Nexo is affected. 2. Park outside and away from your home, garage, or other buildings until it is fixed. 3. Call your Hyundai dealer or Hyundai at 800-633-5151 (recall 269) to schedule the free replacement.
