Defect Summary: Agility fuel systems (agility) is recalling certain compressed natural gas (cng) fuel tank systems manufactured september 2010 through january 2013. in the affected fuel systems, due to a separation of the valve seat from the valve stem, the manual tank shutoff valve can get internally stuck in the closed position while being opened, although the knob may indicate that the valve is open.
Consequence Summary: If the valve is stuck closed, the flow of fuel would be blocked from the fuel container to the engine. such a condition poses a safety risk to service personnel as there is no safe way to depressurize the fuel system and service the subject valve when it is stuck in the closed position, increasing the risk of injury to the service personnel. the affected fuel container may also become over-pressurized if the stuck valve goes undetected for a period of time, or is not repaired in a timely manner, and the ambient temperature increases significantly.
Corrective Action: Agility will notify owners, and agility field personnel will replace the valve seat and stem assembly, free of charge. the recall begin in july 2014. owners may contact agility's customer service at 1-949-236-5520.
