- 1991 Chevrolet P3Built October 1990 to June 1991
What the defect is
Some chassis were shipped to body builders with damaged fill or vent opening caps on the right-hand side. If a left-hand fill system was installed on the tank, and there was a damaged right-hand cap, the fuel system would not be sealed.
What could happen
If the fuel system is not sealed, the automatic shut-offsystem used in gas stations would not work, allowing gas to be forced out ofthe defective right-hand opening. The spilled gasoline would result in a firehazard if exposed to a source of ignition.
What gets fixed
INSTALL NEW CAPS ON THE VEHICLES WITH UNUSED RIGHT-HAND FILL OR VENT OPENINGS.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 13 December 1991.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
