The defect
Some temperature sensitive triggers were not x-rayed. These triggers could contain internal voids that would make the triggers susceptible to advanced creep causing false activation and venting of the CNG.
The risk
Venting of the CNG could result in a fire.
The remedy
Mirada will replace the pressure relief devices with the newer design "generation 2.5" pressure relief devices.
