Diesel Particulate Filter may Melt
Description

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.
Injuries / 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.
