Winkelmann Flowform Technology LP is recalling 327-liter compressed natural gas cylinders because label font size and missing designations may prevent inspection, increasing fire risk.

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-harm product (CNG cylinders) where failure could lead to fire or injury, but no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Winkelmann Flowform Technology LP (WFT) is recalling certain 327-liter compressed natural gas cylinders, part number CNG-327L-2560N. The font size on the cylinder labels may be too small, and the type 3 designation may be missing. These labeling issues prevent the cylinders from passing inspection, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 304, "Compressed Natural Gas Fuel Container Integrity."

If the cylinders cannot be inspected or pass inspection, they can fail, which increases the risk of a fire or injury. WFT will notify owners and provide replacement cylinder labels free of charge. The recall began on April 20, 2020.

Owners may contact WFT customer service at 1-334-758-6400. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov.
