NHTSA recall campaign
13E062000
What was wrong
Defect
SK Innovation Co., Ltd. (SK) is recalling all Econix DPF-A diesel particulate filters manufactured in August 2009, and sold in the United States in 2009, 2010 and 2011. The maintenance instructions for using the filter were not explicitly stated and as a result, extended operation of the Econix DPF Filter may cause partial filter melting and/or failure of the product.
Risk
As the filter melts and fails, burning exhaust particulates may escape, increasing the risk of a fire.
Manufacturer remedy
SK will notify and reimburse owners up to their original purchase price for replacing the filters. The recall is expected to begin during early January 2014. Owners may contact SK at 1-212-583-2434.
