The defect
The Vehicle Production Group (VPG) is recalling certain model year 2011 and 2012 MV-1 vehicles, equipped with a compressed natural gas (CNG) engine. The pressure relief plug for the CNG storage tank may be incorrectly assembled.
The risk
If the plug is incorrectly assembled, it may inadvertently discharge the CNG. A CNG leak in the presence of an ignition source may ignite and result in a vehicle fire.
