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-harm product where the piston ejection can increase the risk of injury to those nearby, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Speedtech LLC is recalling certain Nitrous Solenoid Valves, part number 100-2115, which are used in nitrous oxide systems for drag racing. The recall involves approximately 300 units. The defect is caused by improper welding, which may cause the affected valves to separate when under pressure, either during installation or during use of the nitrous system. This separation results in the piston ejecting.

If the piston ejects, it can increase the risk of injury to those nearby or possibly damage other nearby components. The recall began on September 7, 2015. Speedtech notified the affected owners and replaced the valves free of charge. Additional owner notifications will not be sent.
