What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationThis bulletin is a reminder to exercise caution when painting the Nexo, Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV). During the painting processes, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) may enter the fuel cell through openings or micro gaps in the intake or exhaust piping for the fuel cell. VOCs may damage certain components in the fuel cell causing reduced fuel-cell performance. VOC chemicals can harm the fuel cell system's performance. Precaution must be taken to seal openings for the fuel cell system before painting or placing Nexo in a curing oven.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Hyundai 24-GI-003H a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the 24-GI-003H repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every Hyundai warranty extension on file lists the ones Hyundai has filed.
Which vehicles does 24-GI-003H cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 3 model years: 2024 Hyundai Nexo, 2023 Hyundai Nexo, 2022 Hyundai Nexo. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
