The defect
The CNG tanks may have been fitted with pressure relief devices that may not vent gas from the tank quickly enough to reduce the tank pressure sufficiently to avoid rupture if the tank IS exposed to fire or extreme heat.
The risk
Inadequate tank venting results in increased risk of tankrupture and explosion if an ignition source IS present, which could result indeath or severe personal injury.
The remedy
Brunswick will replace all pressure relief devices installed on CNG fuel tanks whether or not brunswick sold the pressure relief devices.
