What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc. (IMT) is recalling one model year 2013 Refuse-Container Delivery vehicle, equipped with a compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel system by Agility Fuel Systems. The affected CNG system has flexible stainless steel, sleeved, high pressure hoses that may corrode from exposure to environmental conditions such as water mixed with road salt.

The risk

Corrosion of the fuel hose may result in a CNG leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, may increase the risk of a fire.

The remedy

IMT will notify the owner and instruct them to contact Agility to have the defective hose assembly replaced free of charge. The recall began on May 4, 2017. Owners may contact IMT customer service at 1-800-247-5958, or Agility customer service at 1-888-686-7278. IMT's number for this recall is 16E-092.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
