What Happened
Your vehicle has a propane fuel system kit with a faulty aluminum fuel line fitting. This part is a small tube with a connection that regulates propane flow in your van.
Risk if Unfixed
If there's a leak, it could cause a fire if something ignites the propane, which can be very dangerous.
Free Fix
Don't worry, the fix is free! Your dealer will swap out the faulty aluminum fitting for a new stainless steel one to prevent any leaks, and they'll do it at no cost to you.

Original — What Happened
Adrian Steel Company (Adrian) is recalling certain model year 2012 Ford E-150, E-250 and E-350 Commercial Cargo Vans modified by Adrian between September 21, 2012, to September 24, 2012. The affected vehicles are equipped with certain propane fuel system conversion kits with an aluminum fuel line fitting manufactured by Roush CleanTech. Due to a reaction between the different metals, the affected kits may develop a propane leak where the aluminum fuel line fitting contacts the brass supply valve housing.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
A propane leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Original — Remedy
Adrian will notify owners, and dealers will replace the aluminum fuel line fittings with stainless steel fittings, free of charge. The recall began during July 2014. Owners may contact Adrian customer service at 1-800-677-2726.
