The Federal Railroad Administration has issued a Railworthiness Directive to owners of DOT 111 tank cars built by American Railcar Industries or ACF Industries from 2009 – 2015. As a result of their non-conforming welding practices these cars may have substantial weld defects at the sump and BOV skid groove attachment welds which may compromise their ability to retain their contents during transportation.
