BALDWIN FILTERS IS RECALLING CERTAIN BALDWIN AND HASTINGS BRAND OIL AND FUEL FILTERS SOLD AS AFTERMARKET PARTS DESIGNED FOR USE IN A VARIETY OF SMALL DIESEL ENGINES USED IN LIGHT/MEDIUM DUTY APPLICATIONS SUCH AS PICKUP TRUCKS, VANS, OR BUSES. THE DEFECTIVE OIL/FUEL FILTERS WERE MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JULY 2011 AND OCTOBER 2011. THE GASKET MATERIAL LOSES THE ABILITY TO RESIST PERMANENT DEFORMATION UNDER HEAT AND LOAD.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
