Defect
On CNG vehicles, the waterproofing method at the seam and wiring outlet of the case housing the DC converter — which supplies power to the gas valve and spark plugs — is improper. Continued use allows water to enter the case and cause a short circuit inside. In the worst case, the engine stalls and cannot be restarted.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, apply sealant to the seam and wiring outlet of the DC converter case.
