Defect
On vehicles converted to combined natural gas/gasoline (CNG/gasoline) specification, the CNG injector assembly mounting bracket has insufficient strength, allowing engine vibration to induce resonance and cause cracks to form in the bracket. Continued use can progress these cracks and, in the worst case, result in fracture of the CNG injector assembly mounting bracket.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the CNG injector assembly mounting bracket with a corrected part.
