Hazard: 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.

What is this? This is about some Opel Vivaro vans that use hydrogen fuel. A problem can let hydrogen gas leak out under the van.
What's happening? If the van is driving, sensors will turn off the fuel system if they smell hydrogen. But if the van is parked, the sensors do not work. Then hydrogen gas could build up and catch fire.
Does this affect me? This problem only affects Opel Vivaro vans that use hydrogen fuel in France and Germany.
What should I do? If you own one of these vans, ask your Opel dealer for a free fix. Do not park the van in an enclosed space. Ask your dealer or a mechanic for help.
