What is wrong
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.
What can happen
As the filter melts and fails, burning exhaust particulates may escape, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
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.

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.
