Chronology :

March 2022
On March 16, 2022, HMC notified HMA’s NASO of an incident involving a 2019MY Nexo vehicle that caught fire after refueling at a hydrogen fueling station in South Korea. According to HMC’s analysis of the incident, material from the fuel inlet receptacle filter detached shortly after fueling was completed allowing hydrogen fuel to leak from the receptacle into the fuel filler compartment. The operator allegedly heard an abnormal noise from the rear of vehicle and opened the fuel filler door to investigate. HyundaieBay logo believes the vehicle operator’s hand discharged static electricity when making contact with the fueling cap, igniting the leaked hydrogen fuel and causing a fuel filler compartment fire. The fuel filler compartment fire was extinguished within seconds of detection by the refueling station fire suppression system.

On March 21, 2022, HMC informed NASO that the supplier of the fuel inlet receptacle used a prototype epoxybonded filter in place of the design-specific laser-welded filter. Based on this information, on March 31, 2022, NASO convened its North America Safety Decision Authority and decided to conduct a new recall of affected HyundaieBay logo Nexo vehicles in the U.S. to address the defect condition involving the hydrogen fuel inlet receptacle filter.

As of the date of this filing, HyundaieBay logo is only aware of the one (1) incident in South Korea that resulted in a fire.

  • The Hydrogen fuel trolley uses zinc particles and food grade citric acid to synthesize hydrogen, and then uses the produced hydrogen and air to generate electricity to drive the trolley.
  • During the experiment, please use 80℃ hot water for Combination reaction (if the water temperature is low, the amount of hydrogen and air pressure from the Combination reaction are insufficient, the fuel cell cannot be used for power generation), and then take off the plug of the vent pipe at the lower part of the fuel cell, release the gas in the rubber hose immediately, and then plug it back immediately, so that only pure hydrogen and air are in the fuel cell, so that the fuel cell can generate hydrogen air power.
