Defect

North American Repower LLC (North American Repower) is recalling one 2005 Navistar International 1652 4x2 Compressed Natural Gas vehicle equipped with CNG tanks that have Luxfer One-Turn valves recalled under 18E-111. If the knob is turned more than one turn, the valve's snap ring may fail and the valve stem may forcibly eject from the valve body.
