Roush recall: Fuel system, other
What is wrong
Roush CleanTech, LLC (Roush) is recalling certain propane fuel system conversion kits manufactured January 2011 to August 2012 with an aluminum fuel line fitting. These kits were sold as original and replacement equipment for installation on Ford E-150 Wagons and Cargo Vans; E-250 Cargo Vans and Extended Cargo Vans; E-350 Wagons, Extended Wagons, Cargo Vans, and Extended Vans; and E-450 Cutaway models. Due to a reaction between the different metals, the affected kits may develop a propane leak where the aluminum fuel line fitting contacts the brass supply valve housing.
What could happen
A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
The fix
Roush will notify owners, and Roush's authorized service network will replace the aluminum fitting with a stainless steel fitting, free of charge. The recall began on August 5, 2014. Owners may contact Roush customer service at 1-800-597-6874.
