What was wrong

Defect

Hydraulic Supply Company (HSC) is recalling certain Gates Corporation Super-Vac hoses that were used to re-route gas lines during the modification of vehicles to accommodate disabled motorists. The hoses are not suitable for gasoline contact and can develop cracks, possibly allowing gas to leak.

Risk

A gas leak, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire.

Manufacturer remedy

HSC is currently working with the only affected distributors, Triple S Mobility Inc. and its subcontractor, Boulevard Collision, to replace the affected Gates Corporation hoses with hoses suitable for gasoline, free of charge. For more information, owners should contact Triple S Mobility Inc. at 1-727-230-9448 or Boulevard Collision at 1-727-541-5850.
