Speedtech recall: Fuel system, other
What is wrong
Speedtech LLC (Speedtech) is recalling certain Nitrous Solenoid Valves, part number 100-2115, used in nitrous oxide systems for drag racing. 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
Speedtech notified the affected owners, and replaced the valves, free of charge. The recall began on September 7, 2015. Additional owner notifications will not be sent. Owners may contact Speedtech customer service at 1-205-331-4972.
