NHTSA recall campaign
18E111000
What was wrong
Defect
Luxfer Canada Ltd. (Luxfer) is recalling certain One-Turn Valves (OTV), part number MPVE-250. If the knob is turned more than one turn, the valve's snap ring may fail and the valve stem may forcibly eject from the valve body.
Risk
The forcible ejection of the stem may increase the risk of injury to those nearby. Additionally, the unintended release of CNG can increase the risk of a fire.
Manufacturer remedy
Luxfer will notify owners, and provide an upgrade kit for the valves which doubles the snap ring strength, free of charge. The recall began January 18, 2019. Owners may contact Luxfer customer service at 1-403-720-0262.
