Energy And Water Solution recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Energy and water solutions is recalling certain compressed natural gas (CNG) tanks because they were produced without the DOT certification label. Thus, these tanks fail to conform with the labeling requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 304, "compressed natural gas fuel container integrity."
What could happen
A tank that is not certified to be crashworthy may pose a risk of rupturing in a crash, increasing the risk of a fire and the resultant injuries.
The fix
Energy and water solutions will mail DOT certified labels to owners of record free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during august 2012. Owners may contact energy and water solutions at 1-801-825-5580.
