Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles are equipped with certain propane fuel system conversion kits with an aluminum fuel line fitting manufactured by roush cleantech. Due to a reaction between the different metals, the affected kits may develop a propane leak where the aluminum fuel line fitting contacts the brass supply valve housing.

Why it matters: A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

The fix: Adrian will notify owners, and dealers will replace the aluminum fuel line fittings with stainless steel fittings, free of charge. The recall began during July 2014.
