Hazard

In CNG vehicles, the waterproofing method at the case joint and wiring outlet of the DC transformer housing that supplies power to the gas valve and spark plugs is inadequate. If the vehicle continues to be used in this condition, water may infiltrate from this area, causing a short circuit inside the case. In the worst case, the engine may stall and fail to restart.
