Summary: 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.
Consequence: Venting of the CNG could result in a fire.
Remedy: Neoplan will replace the prd with the newer design "generation 2.5" pressure relief device.

Has your Neoplan been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Neoplan dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
