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
Sci will replace the type III prd with a suitable replace- ment device.
