USA RECALL #2 - Adrian Steel converted Ford E-Vans for a possible propane leak.

Report Receipt Date: AUG 06, 2014
NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V501000
Component(s):
Potential Number of Units Affected: 28 

Manufacturer: Adrian Steel Company

SUMMARY:

Adrian Steel Company (Adrian) is recalling certain model year 2012 Ford E-150, E-250 and E-350 Commercial Cargo Vans modified by Adrian between September 21, 2012, to September 24, 2012. 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.

CONSEQUENCE:

A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

REMEDY:

Adrian will notify owners, and dealers will replace the aluminum fuel line fittings with stainless steel fittings, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in September 2014. Owners may contact Adrian customer service at 1-800-677-2726.

NOTES:

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
