What this means for you

Plain-English summary

Agility Fuel Systems is recalling certain model Side-Mount compressed natural gas (CNG) Fuel Systems, Part No. 23736011. These units were manufactured between August 1, 2013, and August 21, 2014, and are equipped with Motion Industries T1700-06 flexible fuel hoses.

The recall is due to a defect where the stainless steel braid reinforcement may corrode prematurely near the fitting crimp inside the slave tank enclosure. If this corrosion progresses and goes undetected, the hose could begin to leak CNG, which increases the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source.

Owners should contact Agility customer service at 1-949-236-5520 for information. Dealers will replace the defective hose assemblies free of charge. The recall began on October 20, 2014. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
