Chronology of events

1. May of 2022

   In late May of 2022 Ember became aware of a possible recall of FlexTech quick connect components. The vendor was contacted several times but no information on the scope or nature of the recall was provided. Ember attained this information on or around June 8th from the NHTSA website. A review of purchase orders and production schedules determine that approximately 44 commercially available units were built with the potentially defective LP quick connect. A review of warrantee claims found one complaint for a cracked LP fitting from 7/6/22 but Ember was unable to retrieve the defective component to determine if it was a FlexTech brand quick connect. On 7/21/22 the Ember Leadership team determined that a recall was required. In December of 2022 the determination was made to increase the scope of the recall due to the discovery of Flex-Tech components in VINs outside the original scope.
