Recall 14E066000: Fuel System, Other, Storage, Tank Assembly, Pressure Relief Devices

NHTSA recall 14E066000 · announced September 29, 2014 · Fisher · 300 units affected

The problem

Emerson Process Mgmt Regulator Tech Inc. (Emerson) is recalling certain Fisher, two-inch, H282, H882, H5112, and H8112 pressure relief valves manufactured January 1, 2003, to July 3, 2014, and used in cargo tank trailer applications. The affected relief valves may break, causing the upper portion of the valve to separate from the stem, and possibly be ejected upward from the tank.

The risk

If the relief valve breaks, an uncontrolled release of pressurized gas into the atmosphere may result increasing the risk of personal injury or fire. Additionally, the ejected valve could become a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash.

What to do

Emerson will notify owners, and dealers will replace the two-inch, H282, H882, H5112, and H8112 valves being used in cargo transport applications with a redesigned pressure relief valve, free of charge. The recall began on December 10, 2014. Owners may contact Emerson customer service at 1-888-237-1751.
