9999 MIRADA B-51300 Recalls (3)
- Campaign:
- 95E005000 on 03/30/1995
- Component:
- Fuel system, other:storage:tank assembly:pressure relief devices
- Manufactured:
- 08/31/1992 - 12/31/1994
- Affected:
- 5,515
- Defect:
- Upon exposure to impurities in the natural gas fuel in cold weather, an internal o-ring on these devices can blister during decompression after "fast-fill" refueling resulting in seal leakage.
- Consequence:
- Internal damage to the o-ring seal could cause a release of cng. if cng were released to the environment and an ignition source were present, a fire could occur.
- Correction:
- Dealers will replace recalled units with new devices that are not susceptible to o-ring damage from non-methane components of the gas supply when the devices are developed.
- Notes:
- System: fuel; compressed natural gas (cng); pressure relief valve/device. equipment description: cng pressure relief valve/device. note: if the valves have not been replaced free of charge within a reasonable time, please contact mirada at 1-612-448-3686. also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
- Campaign:
- 95E014000 on 05/18/1995
- Component:
- Fuel system, other:storage:tank assembly:pressure relief devices
- Manufactured:
- 05/31/1991 - 01/31/1993
- Affected:
- 1,000
- Defect:
- Non-stainless steel balls (chrome plated steel) in the thermal trigger of the pressure relief device have corroded causing false thermal activation.
- Consequence:
- This condition can cause a sudden release of cng. if cng were released to the environment and an ignition source were present, a fire could occur.
- Correction:
- Mirada will replace these pressure relief devices with devices which have stainless steel balls.

- Campaign:
- 95E025000 on 06/25/1995
- Component:
- Fuel system, other:storage:tank assembly:pressure relief devices
- Manufactured:
- 05/31/1992 - 06/30/1994
- Affected:
- 15,590
- Defect:
- Some temperature sensitive triggers were not x-rayed. these triggers could contain internal voids that would make the triggers susceptible to advanced creep causing false activation and venting of the cng.
- Consequence:
- Venting of the cng could result in a fire.
- Correction:
- Mirada will replace the pressure relief devices with the newer design "generation 2.5" pressure relief devices.
