What is wrong
Winkelmann Flowform Technology LP (WFT) is recalling certain 327 liter compressed natural gas cylinders, part number CNG-327L-2560N. The font size of the cylinder labels may be too small and may be missing the type 3 designation, which will prevent the cylinders from passing inspection. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 304, "Compressed Natural Gas Fuel Container Integrity."
What can happen
If the cylinders cannot be inspected or pass inspection, the cylinders can fail and increase the risk of a fire or injury.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
WFT will notify owners, and provide replacement cylinder labels, free of charge. The recall began on April 20, 2020. Owners may contact WFT customer service at 1-334-758-6400.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
