What the defect is
Peter Paul Electronics Co., Inc. (Peter Paul) is recalling certain nitrous oxide solenoid valves, part numbers 22X01421GM 12/DC, 22X01431GM 12/DC; 22X01441GM 12/DC; 70-1010; 22X01701GM 12/DC; 22X00981GM 12/DC; 22X01031GM 12/DC; 22X01481GM 12/DC; 22X01731GM 16/DC; 22X01751GM 12/DC; 22X01761GM 12/DC; 22X01781GM 16/DC; 22X01821GM 16/DC; 22X01861GM 12/DC;22X01871GM 12/DC; 22X01881GM 12/DC; O22X00551GM 12/DC; and O22X00591GM 16/DC manufactured May 5, 2015, to July 24, 2015. The affected valves have end stops on sleeves that may break when under pressure either during installation or during use.
What could happen
If the end stop on the sleeves breaks, the end stop may come off under pressure, increasing the risk of injury to those nearby or possibly damaging other nearby components.
What gets fixed
Peter Paul will notify the manufacturers who purchsed the valves for use in nitrous oxide fuel systems and repair or replace the solenoid valves, free of charge. The recall began on August 14, 2015.

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 2 September 2015.
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.
Additional notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
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.
