Luxfer Gas Cylinders recall: Fuel system, other
What is wrong
Luxfer Canada Ltd. (Luxfer) is recalling certain One-Turn Valves (OTV), part number MPVE-250. If the knob is turned more than one turn, the valve's snap ring may fail and the valve stem may forcibly eject from the valve body.
What could happen
The forcible ejection of the stem may increase the risk of injury to those nearby. Additionally, the unintended release of CNG can increase the risk of a fire.
The fix
Luxfer will notify owners, and provide an upgrade kit for the valves which doubles the snap ring strength, free of charge. The recall began January 18, 2019. Owners may contact Luxfer customer service at 1-403-720-0262.
