Plain-English summary

Roush CleanTech, LLC is recalling certain Generation 4 Propane Conversion Kits. These kits were sold to original equipment manufacturers and vehicle alterers for installation on vehicles prior to their first sale.

The fuel control valve solenoid in these kits may short circuit. This failure shuts off the flow of propane to the engine, causing the engine to shut off. An engine stall while driving increases the risk of a crash.

Roush will notify the original equipment manufacturers and vehicle alterers that installed the affected kits. Those companies will conduct recalls to replace the fuel control valve solenoids free of charge. The recall began on March 21, 2017. Owners may contact Roush at 1-800-597-67874 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
