Limited data — recalls on file
NHTSA has just 0 complaints on file for the 1996 Skyline Aljo — too few to judge reliability from owner reports alone — but one recall campaign applies to this year, so any used example should have its VIN checked for completed recall work.

NCAP overall
1 NHTSA recall campaign on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
THE FURNACES WERE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED. A 1 1/4" MINIMUM OVERLAP BETWEEN THE CHAMBER EXHAUST TUBE AND THE VENT ASSEMBLY EXHAUST IS NEEDED FOR PROPER EXHAUST.
Consequence
THIS CONDITION CAN LEAD TO CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FURNACE VENT ASSEMBLY.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 1 recall should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 1 recall campaign affecting the 1996 Skyline Aljo. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
