OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
13E062000
Equipment
Reported Nov 5, 2013 · SK Innovation Co., Ltd.
Summary
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.
Consequence
As the filter melts and fails, burning exhaust particulates may escape, increasing the risk of a fire.
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.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
