Hazard
In compressed natural gas vehicles, the safety valve structure designed to release fuel and reduce tank pressure when the fuel tank is heated and pressure increases is inadequate. When this component is exposed to high temperatures during refueling in hot weather conditions, the safety valve may actuate below the specified temperature threshold and release fuel unintentionally.

Remedy
Replace the safety valve with a corrected component on all vehicles.
