What is wrong
Vehicles altered by pas, inc. Have compressed natural gas fuel tanks that can develop stress corrosion, which crack the e-glass wrapping. This stress corrosion cracking can lead to tank ruptures.
The risk
If the tank ruptures, personal injury to individuals in or near the vehicle may occur.
The fix
GM is offering to exchange these vehicles with a comparably equipped 1994 gasoline 1/2 or 3/4 ton GM pickup. If the owner chooses not to exchange the natural gas vehicle, GM will repurchase the vehicle.
