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 vehicle defect (bracket failure) that could lead to a CNG leak and fire, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Landi Renzo USA is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 Ford E-150, E-250, and E-350 vehicles that were modified between January 2, 2011, and February 24, 2014, to operate on compressed natural gas (CNG). The recall addresses a defect in the left and right rear brackets that support the rear CNG cylinder.

In the affected vehicles, these brackets may fail, allowing the CNG cylinder to dislodge from the vehicle. If the cylinder dislodges, a CNG leak may result, which increases the risk of a fire.

Landi Renzo USA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the side arm brackets, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2014. Owners may contact Landi Renzo USA at 1-855-526-3400 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
