The problem

The risk
A damaged CNG tank can leak fuel, increasing the risk of a fire.

Heil will replace the ladder bracket, free of charge. Owner notification letters were September 25, 2026. Owners may contact Heil's customer service at 1-866-275-4345. Heil's number for this recall is SN-26-001.
