Natural Gas Fuel Systems is recalling specific compressed natural gas fuel systems for heavy and medium-duty vehicles because the cylinders may unexpectedly rupture.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that a cylinder rupture may result in serious injury, death, or fire, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating involving significant injury or property damage reports.
