A hydrogen leak may occur between the outer tank cover and the protective lining. If hydrogen sensors detect the leak while driving, the fuel cell system shuts down. The vehicle then operates only in electric mode (battery) with very limited range of about 30 km and no onboard hydrogen refueling capability. If the vehicle is parked, the hydrogen sensors do not function. In this case, hydrogen could accumulate under the vehicle, increasing the risk of a hydrogen fire.

Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? This is about some Peugeot vans that use hydrogen fuel. A small leak can happen where the fuel tank is covered.

What's happening? If the leak is found while driving, the van stops using hydrogen and only runs on battery for about 30 km. If parked, the leak might not be noticed and hydrogen gas could build up under the van, which can cause a fire.

Does this affect me? This only affects people who own or drive these Peugeot vans in France.

What should I do? Stop using the van and contact a Peugeot dealer or mechanic right away. Ask your mechanic or Peugeot for advice before driving it again.

Type: automobiles et moyens de déplacement · Category: automobiles, motos, scooters · Hazard: incendie · une fuite d’hydrogène peut se produire entre le couvercle extérieur du réservoir et la doublure de protection. si les capteurs d’hydrogène du véhicule détectent la fuite pendant la conduite, le système de pile à combustible s’éteint. le véhicule ne fonctionne alors qu’en mode électrique (batterie), avec une autonomie très limitée d’environ 30 km et aucune capacité de recharge de l’hydrogène à bord. si le véhicule est garé, les capteurs d'hydrogène ne fonctionnent pas. dans ce cas, l'hydrogène pourrait s'accumuler sous le véhicule, ce qui augmente le risque d'incendie d'hydrogène.
