FILTERS MAY BE INCOMPLETELY ASSEMBLED WITH THE CRIMP OPERATION OMITTED; THE TWO HALVES ARE ONLY HELD TOGETHER BY SEALANT COMPOUND, ACTING AS AN ADHESIVE, AND WILL SEPARATE WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED.

Risk

FILTER SEPARATION WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED RESULTS IN SIGNIFICANT LEAKAGE OF FUEL, AND RISK OF FIRE NEAR A SOURCE OF IGNITION.

Manufacturer remedy

REPLACE WITH FILTERS THAT HAVE BEEN INSPECTED FOR DEFECTS.
