Nitrous Supply Recalls Prostar Solenoid Valves Due to Sleeve Breakage Risk

Nitrous Supply is recalling Prostar Solenoid valves because end-stops on the sleeves may break under pressure, posing a risk of injury to nearby individuals.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 injury to nearby individuals from a component failure, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Nitrous Supply is recalling certain Prostar Solenoid valves. The affected valves have end-stops on the sleeves that may break when under pressure, either during installation or during use.

If the end stop on the sleeves breaks, the end-stop may come off under pressure, increasing the risk of injury to those nearby or possibly damaging other nearby components.

Nitrous Supply notified all owners, and the manufacturer of the nitrous kits replaced the defective sleeves, free of charge. All recall repairs have been made. Owners may contact Nitrous Supply customer service at 1-714-373-1986. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
