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
Edo canada has gone out of business. the correction was to conduct an inspection/exchange program for all non x-rayed and "bulged" triggers on the mirada pressure relief devices.
