Emerson Recalls Fisher Pressure Relief Valves for Cargo Tank Trailers
Emerson is recalling Fisher-branded H732 and H832 pressure relief valves used in cargo tank trailers because the valve stem may break, potentially ejecting the valve and releasing pressurized gas.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect in a vehicle component that can result in personal injury, vehicle crashes, or fires, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Emerson Process Management Regulator Technologies, Inc. is recalling certain Fisher-branded H732 and H832 pressure relief valves manufactured between January 2003 and January 2013. These valves are used in cargo tank trailers. The recall affects 29,118 units.
The defect involves the valve stem, which may break and result in separation. This failure can cause the valve to be ejected and pressurized gas to be released into the atmosphere. An ejected valve could strike another vehicle, causing personal injury or a crash. Additionally, the release of gas near an ignition source could lead to a vehicle fire.
Emerson will notify owners and replace the valves free of charge. The recall began on April 9, 2013. Customers may contact Emerson at 1-888-237-1751. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
