THE SOLENOID VALVES WHICH ARE INTENDED TO ISOLATE THE CNG (COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS) TANKS FROM THE REST OF THE FUEL SYSTEM IN THE EVENT OF ENGINE SHUT DOWN, FIRE OR IGNITION SHUT OFF, MAY FAIL DUE TO CRACKING OR DETERIORATION OF THE SOLENOID PLUNGER. SOLENOID FAILURE COULD ALLOW CNG TO FLOW WHEN NOT REQUIRED. IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION.rnCORRECTION: SOLENOID VALVES WILL BE REPLACED WITH IMPROVED VERSIONS.

The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1997199.
