Roush is recalling 2010-2012 Ford E-Series vans with specific propane conversion kits due to a potential fuel leak that could cause a fire.

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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk of fire due to a propane leak, which is a significant hazard, but the source text does not report any injuries, deaths, or confirmed fire incidents, fitting the criteria for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'

Plain-English summary

Roush Performance Products, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 Ford E-150, E-250, E-350, and E-450 Wagons, Cargo Vans, Extended Cargo Vans, and Cutaway models. These vehicles were modified by Roush to be equipped with propane fuel system conversion kits manufactured between January 2011 and August 2012. The affected kits include an aluminum fuel line fitting.

The recall is necessary because a reaction between the aluminum fitting and the brass supply valve housing may cause a propane leak. A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. The source text does not report any specific incidents of fire or injury.

Roush will notify owners and replace the aluminum fuel line fittings with new stainless steel fittings free of charge. The recall began on September 1, 2014. Owners may contact Roush customer service at 1-800-597-6874 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
