Plain-English summary

North American Repower LLC is recalling one 2005 Navistar International 1652 4x2 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicle. The recall involves CNG tanks equipped with Luxfer One-Turn valves that were previously recalled under campaign 18E-111.

The defect occurs if the valve knob is turned more than one turn, which may cause the valve's snap ring to fail. This failure can result in the valve stem forcibly ejecting from the valve body. The forcible ejection of the stem may increase the risk of injury to nearby individuals, and the unintended release of CNG can increase the risk of a fire.

The recall began on March 27, 2019. North American Repower has notified the owner and provided an upgrade kit free of charge. Owners may contact North American Repower customer service at 1-949-667-2673 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
