NHTSA campaign 22E039000 · 3,450 units potentially affected · filed May 16, 2022
What's wrong
Carparts.com, Inc. (Carparts.com) is recalling certain Replacement, and Evan-Fischer Oil Filter Housings, part number RD31260001. The welded plugs inside the oil filter housing may not have a proper seal, which can result in an oil leak.
Why it matters
An oil leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine components, can increase the risk of a fire. Loss of oil can also result in the engine seizing, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Carparts.com will replace the oil filter housing or provide a full refund, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 16, 2022. Owners may contact Carparts.com customer service at 1-866-529-0412.
