Vicinity Motor Corporation is recalling 14 of its 2017 Vi33 transit buses because the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) tanks may not have enough clearance from their mounting frames and safety cables. This lack of space can cause the tanks to rub against the metal structure or cables, leading to tank damage and potential leaks. Owners should contact Vicinity for a free inspection and repair to adjust the mounting and secure the cables. If the bus cannot be adjusted immediately, it must not be driven until the supporting parts are replaced.
If the CNG tanks become damaged, they can leak natural gas. A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
Interim inspection and adjustment of mounting structure
