Hazard

In refuse collection vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as fuel, the control program of the electronic control unit (ECU) that regulates fuel gas injection is inappropriate. During refuse compactor operation, such as when loading refuse, fuel injection quantity may temporarily become excessive, causing increases in carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) levels in exhaust gas. When the refuse compactor is operated continuously, workers may inhale large quantities of CO and HC.

Remedy

Replace ECU with corrected unit on all vehicles.
