Nitrous Outlet recall: Fuel system, other
What is wrong
Nitrous Outlet is recalling certain .122 Nitrous Solenoid valves, part number 00-50004 manufactured May 1, 2015, to July 30, 2015. Due to improper welding, the affected valves may separate when under pressure either during installation or during use of the nitrous system resulting in the piston ejecting.
What could happen
If the piston ejects, it can increase the risk of injury to those nearby or possibly damage other nearby components.
The fix
Nitrous Outlet has notified owners, and offered to provide a full refund or a replacement part, free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2015. Owners may contact Nitrous Outlet customer service at 1-254-848-4300.
