What the defect is
The torque plug assembled into the pressure relief device was not welded or pinned in production. The tightening or torquing of the pressure relief device as installed on the vehicle could cause damage to the internal parts of the device.
What could happen
Internal damage to the device could cause a sudden release of cng. If CNG were released to the environment and an ignition source were present, a fire could occur.
What gets fixed
MIRADA WILL REPLACE THESE PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES WITH DEVICES WHICH HAVE THE TORQUE PLUG WELDED OR PINNED.

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 7 March 1995.
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.
Additional notes
System: fuel; CNG; pressure relief valve/device. Equipment description: compressed natural gas (CNG) pressure relief devices. Note: if the valves have not been replaced free of charge within a reasonable time, please contact mirada controls at 1-612-448-3686. Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.

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.
