What's wrong?
On the 2024 Heil Front End Loader Garbage truck, the CNG shutoff solenoid valve sits in the fuel system. A solenoid is an electrically controlled valve. In normal operation, it opens so compressed natural gas reaches the engine at the pressure needed for starting, idling, and acceleration.
On affected trucks, low chassis voltage during startup can leave the solenoid dealing with a pressure difference it was not designed to handle. The valve does not open fully, so the engine does not get enough fuel. Heil's investigation found that removing the unneeded solenoid stops this fuel delivery problem. Without enough fuel pressure, the engine can stall shortly after starting or while the truck is being driven.
The sign to watch for is weak engine response after startup: engine RPMs do not rise as expected when the accelerator pedal is pressed. Outside of that poor accelerator response, there is no warning sign before failure.
Who's affected?
The inclusion question centers on the CNG shutoff solenoid valve, identified by Heil as part 102-0084.

What's the safety risk?
The fuel pressure problem can lead to an engine stall, which increases the risk of a crash. One warning sign is RPMs failing to rise as expected when you press the accelerator; otherwise, there is no warning before the stall. Schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Heil dealer.
