Chance Coach, Inc.: Fuel System, Other › Storage › Tank Assembly
Chance Coach, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Dec 23, 1996 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 20. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
THE FASTENERS SECURING THE COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS (CNG) ROOF-MOUNTED FUEL TANK LIDS WERE NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED AND/OR MAINTAINED.
The risk
IF THE FASTENERS FAIL TO HOLD THE FUEL TANK LIDS PROPERLY, THE LIDS WOULD COME OFF DURING THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The remedy
CHANCE COACH IS DEVELOPING A MODIFICATION KIT TO ENHANCE THE FASTENING OF THE ROOF FUEL TANK. UNTIL THAT KIT IS AVAILABLE, OWNERS SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT THE FUEL TANK IS SECURELY FASTENED.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 96V254000.
