Plain-English summary

Peter Paul Electronics Co., Inc. is recalling certain nitrous oxide solenoid valves manufactured between May 5, 2015, and July 24, 2015. The affected components include various part numbers such as 22X01421GM 12/DC and 70-1010. These valves were distributed to manufacturers for use in nitrous oxide fuel systems.

The defect involves end stops on the valve sleeves that may break when subjected to pressure during installation or use. If the end stop breaks, it may detach under pressure, which increases the risk of injury to people nearby or damage to other nearby components.

Peter Paul will notify the manufacturers who purchased these valves to repair or replace the solenoid valves free of charge. The recall began on August 14, 2015. Owners may contact Peter Paul customer service at 1-860-229-4884 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
