The problem
Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc. (IMT) is recalling one model year 2013 Refuse-Container Delivery vehicle, equipped with a compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel system by Agility Fuel Systems. The affected CNG system has flexible stainless steel, sleeved, high pressure hoses that may corrode from exposure to environmental conditions such as water mixed with road salt.
The risk
Corrosion of the fuel hose may result in a CNG leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, may increase the risk of a fire.
The fix
IMT will notify the owner and instruct them to contact Agility to have the defective hose assembly replaced free of charge. The recall began on May 4, 2017. Owners may contact IMT customer service at 1-800-247-5958, or Agility customer service at 1-888-686-7278. IMT's number for this recall is 16E-092.
