ANALYSISHow safe is the 2023 Hyundai Nexo?
The 2023 Hyundai Nexo faces a significant safety concern stemming from a single, yet critical, fuel system recall. This recall, which includes a "park outside" instruction, addresses a potential failure in the thermally activated pressure relief device of the hydrogen tank assembly. The seriousness of this issue places the Nexo in the "Heavy burden" band, reflecting the potential for severe consequences. This recall is not unique to the 2023 model; it affects a broad range of Nexo production years. Adding to the concern are six unverified owner complaints, with the fuel and propulsion system being a top reported category, alongside forward collision avoidance and service brakes. Without crash-test data from the 2023 model year or any preceding model, consumers lack a crucial comparative baseline for assessing crashworthiness.
