Engineered Controls Recalls Propane Service Valves for Leak Risk

Engineered Controls International is recalling specific propane service valves for recreational vehicles due to incorrect thread depth that may cause leaks.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect in a vehicle component (propane valve) that creates a risk of fire, which aligns with the rubric criteria for 'structural vehicle defect' or 'significant injury/property-damage reports' (potential for fire).

Plain-English summary

Engineered Controls International, LLC (ECI) is recalling certain RegO propane service valves, part numbers 901C3 and 901C5. These valves are used in LPG systems for recreational vehicles and trailers. The recall affects approximately 9,500 units.

The defect involves incorrect thread depth on the service valves, which may prevent them from connecting properly to the LPG tanks. This improper connection can cause a propane leak. A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

ECI is working with the propane tank supplier, Manchester Tank, to provide replacement valves free of charge. Affected recreational vehicle manufacturers will manage the recall repairs. Owners should contact their respective recreational vehicle manufacturer's customer service for assistance. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
