Baldwin Filters / Hastings recall: Fuel system, other

What is wrong

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. As this event progresses, the gasket is no longer able to provide the necessary sealing capability.

What could happen

Fluid loss in the application will subsequently occur, which in turn could lead to power loss while the vehicle is in operation, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, a fuel leak could cause a fire.

The fix

Baldwin will retrofit the filter with new gaskets free of charge. The safety recall began on november 18, 2011. Owners may contact baldwin filters service engineering at 1-800-822-5394 ext. 79729.
