Hyundai recalls hydrogen fuel cell vehicles due to fire risk and tells owners to park them outdoors
View Date:2024-12-23 23:52:23
DETROIT (AP) — Hyundai is telling the owners of nearly 1,600 Nexo hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in the U.S. and Canada to park them outdoors and away from structures due to the risk of fuel leaks and possible fires.
The Korean automaker is recalling the hydrogen-powered SUVs from the 2019 through 2024 model years.
Hyundai says in documents posted Thursday by U.S. safety regulators that a pressure relief device can break and cause a hydrogen leak. That could cause a fire even while the SUVs are parked.
The company says the SUVs can still be driven but should be parked outside until repairs are made.
Hyundai says it has no reports of fires anywhere across the globe.
Owners will be notified by letter starting Dec. 10. Dealers will replace the pressure release devices.
The automaker said in a statement that it’s doing the recall “to ensure the safety of its customers.”
