## What is wrong

On certain natural gas vehicles, in the rare circumstance that a flame from a vehicle interior fire becomes locally directed at the natural gas tank located immediately behind the rear seat, the locally directed flame could damage the fiberglass wrap on the tank thereby reducing the hoop strength of the tank.  If the hoop strength is significantly compromised, the tank could rupture and potentially result in personal injury.  Correction:  Dealer will install an insulator behind the seat back.
