These are LPG cylinders that are fiberglass wrapped.
If you know of others who are RV'ing or use portable propane cylinders, pass the info along to them.
Total recall and termination - is pretty serious circumstances that must have been observed or experienced somewhere.
The following information is being provided for your immediate review
On May 24, 2013, The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration issued Emergency Order Number 2013-002 mandating a recall of all cylinders manufactured by The Lite Cylinder Company, Inc. (Lite Cylinder), Franklin, Tennessee, and marked as authorized under DOT-SP 14562 (and DOT-SP-13957 as authorized therein), DOT-SP 13105; any cylinder requalified under H706, and any cylinders manufactured under M5729. In addition, the order applies to any person who is in possession of an affected packaging subject to this order.

The emergency order is based on an investigation of Lite Cylinder's operations and production history that revealed probable violations and unsafe conditions and practices that PHMSA determined present an imminent hazard to the public safety.

These cylinders are largely in liquefied petroleum gas service.
