What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Nitrous Oxide Systems is recalling approximately 16 NOS kits designed for snowmobiles and ATVs. The recall involves nitrous oxide systems where the valves were manufactured between February 1, 2006, and September 26, 2006. The date code for these units is located on the NOS packaging.

The recall is being issued because an incorrect burst disc, a component of the NOS bottle valve, may have been installed in these kits. If the bottle is overfilled and overheated, it could forcefully burst, posing an impact injury hazard to consumers. The company has reported no incidents or injuries associated with this defect.

These kits were sold at Nitrous Oxide Systems dealers nationwide from February 2006 through November 2006 for about $750. Consumers should stop using the recalled NOS system immediately and contact Nitrous Oxide Systems to have the burst disc replaced. Registered owners have been notified by mail. For more information, consumers can call Nitrous Oxide Systems toll-free at (800) 638-0032 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
