^ They had a steel frame with 'enduraflex' panels similar to Saturn automobiles and the Corvette.

I also saw smoke coming out of the rear of mine while on the highway once. Definitely a freaky sight. It turned out to be a broken coolant hose spewing onto the engine block, so it was only a $20 fix at the repair shop.

I believe it was only the '84 models that had the fire-risk problem. Virtually any 1984 model today would have the recall completed though.
