VSR-WI-003-A
Internal Document work instructions. McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. has been alerted by our supplier that a concern affecting safety exists in some Emcara Pressure Relief Device (PRD) valves on CNG tanks (for your information,Emcara?s NHTSA Recall number is 15E059). Some McNeilus Refuse models were shipped with an Emcara CNG PRD which may not vent properly. The purpose of the thermal PRD is to relieve pressure in the CNG system if the CNG tank is reaching an unsafe level of pressure, as might occur with a thermal event that heats up a tank. In the event of a thermal event, the thermal PRD may not vent properly, which increases the likelihood of a CNG tank over-pressurizing and rupturing. A tank rupture creates an increased risk of injury to the truck occupants, firefighters, or bystanders.

Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
