Defect
On large trucks equipped with compressed natural gas (CNG) engines, the main shutoff valve installed in the fuel line is made of an improper material. When exposed to moisture containing chlorine—such as road de-icing agents—the valve may develop cracks. Continued use allows the cracks to propagate, and fuel may leak.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the main shutoff valve with the corrected part.
