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?
