FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE

Issued by Vicinity Motor Corporation · Reported Jan 31, 2024 · 14 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Vicinity Motor Corporation (Vicinity) is recalling certain 2017 Vi33 transit buses. Inadequate clearance may allow the CNG tanks to contact the supporting mounting structure and/or safety cables, damaging the tanks.

Consequence

A damaged tank can leak natural gas, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy

As an interim repair, dealers will inspect and adjust the mounting structure. If the vehicle's mounting structure cannot be adjusted, owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the supporting member is replaced. When the final repair is available, dealers will inspect and secure the safety cables, install protective material on the tank, and replace the mounting structure and CNG tanks as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 18, 2024. Owners may contact Vicinity customer service at 1-604-607-4000. Vicinity's number for this recall is CA-000-051.
