Opel Vivaro-e Hydrogen (2021 – 2023)

A hydrogen leak can occur between the tank’s outer cover and the protective lining. If the vehicle’s hydrogen sensors detect the leak while driving, the fuel-cell system will shut off. The vehicle will then only run in electric (battery) mode, with a very limited range of about 30 km and no ability to recharge hydrogen on board. If the vehicle is parked, the hydrogen sensors do not operate. In this case, hydrogen could build up under the vehicle which increases the risk of hydrogen catching fire.

The Opel Vivaro-e Hydrogen vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 14 September 2021 and 30 September 2023, with VIN numbers ranging from VXEV1ZKXZMZ090272 to VXEV9ZKXZPZ079209.
