- Fuel system, other:storage:tank assembly:pressure relief devices
- Manufactured:
- 12/31/1991 - 01/31/1994
- Affected:
- 6,000
- Defect:
- 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.
- Consequence:
- 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.
- Correction:
- Mirada will replace these pressure relief devices with devices which have the torque plug welded or pinned.

- 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.
