Labrie recall: Fuel system, other
What is wrong
Labrie Enviroquip Group (Labrie Enviroquip) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Automizer and Expert compressed natural gas (CNG) -powered refuse trucks. The CNG tanks are equipped with Luxfer valves recalled under 18E-111. If the valve 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
Labrie Enviroquip will notify owners, and Luxfer will provide an upgrade kit for the valves which doubles the snap ring strength, free of charge. The recall began June 17, 2019. Owners may contact Labrie Enviroquip customer service at 1-418-813-8250 or Luxfer at 1-403-720-0262.
