Does this affect my vehicle?
This recall covers vehicles built between May 1993 and September 1993. If yours was built outside that window, it is not part of this recall.
- Brunswick CNG Fuel TankBuilt May 1993 to September 1993
What the defect is
The CNG tanks may have been fitted with pressure relief devices that may not vent gas from the tank quickly enough to reduce the tank pressure sufficiently to avoid rupture if the tank is exposed to fire or extreme heat.
What could happen
Inadequate tank venting results in increased risk of tankrupture and explosion if an ignition source is present, which could result indeath or severe personal injury.
What gets fixed
BRUNSWICK WILL REPLACE ALL PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES INSTALLED ON CNG FUEL TANKS WHETHER OR NOT BRUNSWICK SOLD THE PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES.

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 16 September 1993.
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.
