The short answer

NHTSA received CHANCE COACH, INC.’s report on Dec 23, 1996. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 25, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

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 FASTENERS SECURING THE COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS (CNG) ROOF-MOUNTED FUEL TANK LIDS WERE NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED AND/OR MAINTAINED.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
