“I bought a 2019 Hyundai Nexo Fuel Cell on 04/29/2020 from Lithia Hyundai of Mission Hills without been notified of the two existent recalls with no remedy yet available from Hyundai. In fact, these Recalls shown in the Carfax report, were undisclosed by giving me to sign the last page "as a confirmation I was going to receive it complete". At the end of the process, I received a USB with the purchase documents and it was until two days after when I printed all documents, I found out about the recalls. Is it fraud?”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Apr 2022
