Apex, NC 27502

 

Subject: Incorrect Label for 327L Type 3 Cylinder

 

Dear Andrew Priest:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

WFT has determined that the label on the 327L Type 3 Cylinder do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No. 304 “Compressed Natural Gas Fuel Container Integrity.”

 

WHY IS A RECALL BEING CONDUCTED?

The label font size on the 327L type 3 cylinders (part# CNG-327L-2560N) is too small and missing the type 3-cylinder designation, which can cause them to fail inspection. If the cylinders are unable to pass inspection, it can increase the risk of a fire or injury.

 

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

WFT has included 3 replacement compliant labels. We ask that you install them over the top of the existing cylinder labels. Please use an epoxy sealer to seal the edges of the label over the top of the old label. This repair will take approximately 10 minutes after the epoxy sealer is prepared.
