Agility recall: Fuel system, other
What is wrong
Agility Fuel Systems (Agility) is recalling certain model Side-Mount compressed natural gas (CNG) Fuel Systems, Part No. 23736011, manufactured August 1, 2013, to August 21, 2014 and equipped with Motion Industries T1700-06 flexible fuel hoses. The stainless steel braid reinforcement may corrode prematurely near the fitting crimp inside the slave tank enclosure.
What could happen
If the corrosion progresses and goes undetected, the hose could begin to leak CNG, increasing the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source.
The fix
Agility will notify owners, and dealers will replace the defective hose assemblies, free of charge. The recall began on October 20, 2014. Owners may contact Agility customer service at 1-949-236-5520.
