- 2009-2011 Ford E-150

What the defect is
Roush is recalling certain aftermarket roush clean tech liquid propane autogas fuel system kits produced between december 17, 2010, and may 6, 2011, used for installation on fleet vehicles model year 2009 through 2011 ford e-series vans/wagons/shuttles/cutaway (150, 250 and 350) with 5.4L engines ("e-series"), and my 2011 ford E-450 cutaways. The valves installed in the service port of the fuel rails of the kit were under minimum specification for the diameter. This LED to insufficient compression of the o-ring, allowing leakage of propane autogas. The part numbers of the affected kits are: P10C2-R150KIT-AA, P10C2-R150KIT-AC, P10C2-R350KIT-AC, P11C2-R150KIT-AA, P11C2-R150KIT-AB, P11C2-R350KIT-AA, P11C2-R350KIT-AB, P-10-SO-RKIT-BA, PBC2-RKIT158-AB, PBC2-RKIT176-AB, and PBC2-RKITMB-AC.
What could happen
A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
What gets fixed
AS OF MAY 27, 2011, ROUSH HAD NOTIFIED ALL OWNERS OF RECORD BY TELEPHONE AND SHIPPED TO THEM REPLACEMENT VALVES FREE OF CHARGE.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 31 May 2011.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
